[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we really getting this bogged down over a swimming pool? Really? Since when is that integral to a high school education? The other 3 high schools all have beautiful, relatively new pools. And the County is about to spend anywhere from $65-70 million on Long Bridge Park. In an era where every dollar spent needs to be weighed against future needs and property tax hikes, not sure we should be fighting for a pool.

I'm far more concerned with balancing the economic diversity at any new CC high school with Wakefield and to some extent, W-L. (Yorktown is a lost cause.) Let's worry about that, and providing a good curriculum that'll challenge students.  [/quote]

Sorry. I want my kids to have field space, an auditorium, opportunities in band, to be able to play a sport etc. I’m less concerned with your social engineering. High school is way more than its academics. Being in the school play or being in a sports team provide experiences and lessons I want my kids to have. For some kids, that may be being on the Swim team.

They are going to make this whole CC an option. And we will continue to see massive overcrowding. [/quote]

Your kids have access to all these things now at Wakefield. You just want your own on your doorstep.[/quote]

Np- what do you want?
We need more seats. That neighborhood is willing to take on what no other area wants. 
They are willing to take on YEARS of construction and send their kids to a new school. 
Where else in the county is anyone else volunteering? Oh, so for their troubles, you want them to have crappy facilities because... why exactly? Oh because they are leaving Wakefield? Get a grip. Everyone should be thanking that neighborhood. They are being very generous.[/quote]
