[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the need for ES seats why is APS waiting until 2029 to build another new school (after Reed)?  Is it only money?

And, when did they SB suddenly agree that the long-term demographic trend is toward more students?  Wasn't the long delay in building schools because they said it would level off?[/quote]

The new AFSAP (hot off the press) is coming in strong for more middle and elementary seats sooner than that: https://www.apsva.us/engage/afsapreport/

It looks like Montessori seats are included in all the long term projections, but they don't have a building after the career center gets going, right? So those need to be rebuilt too?[/quote]

No current plan is to add all those Career Center seats and keep Montessori on the site as well. So it will be like 2000 HS students plus a full ES on that small lot. They are undergrounding parking and adding a real field at least for those HS kids. They may eventually move it and add even more HS students to the site, but that's 10 years or so down the road. Maybe.

(Note: This is the "plan." Everything always changes so who knows, but that's what they are saying now.)[/quote]
