[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL on them keeping Civic Assoc's in tact. It reminds me of the Fairlington people crying last year that you couldn't possibly cut a community DIVIDED BY A HIGHWAY in half. People, there are streets in Arlington where the north side goes to one school and the south side goes to another. And not major streets. Residential streets.

Also, they don't care about keeping kids together elem and middle school. At a school board meeting last year they affirmed the policy of sending even one planning unit off to a diff middle school as long as the planning unit had 15 kids or something -- and not even 15 5th graders, total. They are happy to peel off 1-2 kids and send them by themselves.[/quote]

Well, they didn’t split up Fairlington, did they? That’s why I said it. There are some people on the SB who take “neighborhood” schools quite literally. I don’t think they’ll even let staff present new maps that split up civic associations. [/quote]

LOL— who are these SB members who take neighborhood schools literally? The same one who wouldn’t let families in the ASFS neighborhood attend ASFS, a neighborhood school?[/quote]

You would actually be breaking up a neighborhood (Cherrydale) between Taylor and ASFS. So that is consistent. ASFS IS a neighborhood school now, just not the neighborhood where it sits.

Give it a rest. It will be sorted out at the boundary process. [/quote]

NP. Cherrydale elementary school students are already divided between Glebe and Taylor, so no consistency there.[/quote]
