This is crazy.  That's just not sufficient to deal with the school population onslaught that is coming.  Please write the school and county boards!

To contact the School Board, send an email to:  school.board@apsva.us

Alterrnatively, fax them at (703) 228-7640, write Arlington Education Center, 1426 N. Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22207, or phone (703) 228-6015. Open office hours for citizens to visit with School Board members are generally held on Mondays from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. (walk-in/no appointment needed) during the school year. If there is a Monday holiday, open office hours will be held on the following Tuesday morning from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the School Board Office. To view the schedule for Open Office Hours, click here &lt;[url]http://www.apsva.us/Page/3050[/url]&gt;.

To contact the County Board (PLEASE DO THIS!!!), send a message via this internet contact form:  &lt;[url]https://www.arlingtonva.us/contact-arlington/[/url]&gt;[/quote]

Is your point that they should spend less on parks and roads and more on schools? The school bond is already expected to be $125m. Interest on those bonds comes out of the schools annual budget--if the county is using $12m of its bond to build a parking garage, that's $12m the schools don't have to pay interest on.[/quote]
