[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, that's the kind of suggestions you get when you want to build a 4,000 student school on the smallest parcel of land because "we can't touch the north Arlington schools". We're already in a defeatist attitude. We're all telling ourselves we're being pragmatic, when we've already lost, because we have less to work with and [b]refuse to as the rest of the county to give up its precious space[/b] to balance the load across 4 campuses. [/quote] I've spent significant time on both Yorktown and W-L campuses. Both have very little additional space to give. Maybe some, but not much. Remember also, the more kids per school the fewer resources to go around in terms of extracurricular opportunities. The right space is Kenmore, but Tannia Talento and the Glen Carlyn neighborhood have shut that down. It's the largest APS parcel in the area, and it's being blocked by special interests. Not all loud and NIMBY parents are in north Arlington.[/quote]
