[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it assumed S Srlington kids at Long Branch will be reckoned to Henry/ Fleet. How about we remind ourselves [b]we all live in Arlington, one county[/b]. If there are so many extra seats at Reef or Discovey or wherever then boundaries need to shift in the direction that balances all schools you know now that all boundaries are on the table! Stop allowing N Arlington to call the shots! [/quote]

That opens the door to SB members announcing that all Arlington schools are good, so it doesn't matter where the boundaries are drawn. (And then gee, look at that! The boundaries are drawn to suit North Arlington voters! Who could have foreseen that?!)[/quote]
Long Branch is very close to Fleet, those kids are currently zoned for TJ middle school (and are within the walk zone for Fleet).  Why wouldn't they be zoned for it?  I guess I don't understand the anger here -- we do live in one arlington, and honestly the demographics of the kids right north of 50 aren't that different from the people immediately below it.  I live in north arlington and have no issue with the boundaries shifting south, or making more of the north arlington schools option schools (so that the schools in the south can be less crowded -- not because I have some nefarious desire to see option schools only be available for kids in north arlington).

I have to agree with you.  If you look at walkers AND continuity it would be crazy not to let kids walk across the pedestrian bridge from Ashton Heights.
