[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't there a meeting on this last night?  Did anyone go?[/quote]

I didn't go, but I watched it on local cable.  It was mostly about Reed and concerns about TCS and the Integration School since the CIP didn't have any mention of them.  Then others in Westover expressing concerns about losing the character of the area to overbuilding (i.e., massive parking garages).  About 4 or so others (Thank God) came forward and expressed concerns about the lack of crowding in high schools.  They all told the SB they needed to be brave and go to the CB and ask for more money.  We know that the high schools will be really overcrowded b/c those kids are currently in the ES (or soon to be--4 yrs old) today.  A few mentioned needing a NAWG similiar to the one they had for SAWG (i guess a while back, wasn't as involved back then as my oldest is now just 4).

One parent came forward and advocated for all kids.  She said that the bottom 10 to 20% need the most help and usually take the most attention of teachers and the top 10 to 20% are stars and don't need much help from us but it's all the kids in the middle who will suffer if the high schools are 3000 students which is what can happen with the current proposals and no new high school.

I cannot believe that the decisions of a few will have such a huge impact on the K-12 education of 30K students in Arlington.[/quote]
