[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as the CC facility has access to amenities it needs, I'm okay with it not being on site. It's a short ride to TJ, Wakefield, Barcroft Rec, Arlington Mill, or Walter Reed. We need to use some of these resources.

My kids will go to this school. I would rather there be some workarounds in place while we wait for the amenities, because I don't think it will happen all at once.[/quote]

Sorry, but my kids would also have to go to this school too and there's no way I agree with "waiting" for amenities that will never come.  After APS builds the office-building style HS and forces kids to go there, they will be on to the next crisis. [/quote]

It's funny and sad to me how some people are conditioned to accept less, right off the bat, every time.  HB and Reed parents certainly didn't, and good on them for fighting for their kids. [/quote]

It’s the default south Arlington position. Every time. Our kids aren’t  worth as much. That’s how we act.[/quote]

It's because that's all that ever is offered.

Anyway, I think we'd be zoned for this school, not sure depending how the boundary shakes out. It should absolutely be a precondition that the boundary not cut off the entire SE quadrant or there will be no possible way to balance fr/l between CC and Wakefiled, and certainly not with W-L. If you can assure that, I think you'd get more advocates for the full 4th HS. There is no way anyone in the Abingdon/Claremont boundary is going to get on board with you if you're going to leave them as the only UMC neighborhood zoned to Wakefield (with possibly Glencarlyn).[/quote]
