[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county needs to get the 11 acres at the Hospital site in s. Arlington, get it in the SB's hands, build a nice school (not crazy nice, but nice) with a nice park for the neighborhood.  11 acres will never present itself again.  Completely analyze and rework the boundaries - for all levels.  In the past, they have dickered around with only a few planning units here and there (near Tuckahoe, McK Nottingham and Glebe) moving, for example, 24 kids from one overcrowded school to another without resulting in comprehensive relief.  In that process, figure out where a NEIGHBORhood elementary school needs to be located.  Not a choice school.  Few people want a choice school in their neighborhood.  It may be that no land is available in the area that the projections show needs an elementary. In that case, build a school choice school, but allow 60 percent of the planning units surrounding that school to opt in first.  Then the rest can come from the areas they believe will be overcrowded.   Then build onto the schools that serve the overcrowded areas, if we can or if needed.  Right now, the counties numbers indicate that the Balston Corridor will see the most growth and have the largest seat deficit.  However, just last year the County believed the largest seat deficit would be in northwestern part of the County (even with the new schools and additions).  I do not have a lot of faith in the projections at that level of granularity.  [/quote]
