[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I posted in the overcrowded schools thread about the County Board CIP, including all the contact info.  Please, folks who are reading this, please write in to both County and School Boards:

The County Board just announced its own Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) that [b]asks for $177M in new bonds, but only sends $12M towards schools[/b], most of it apparently for a parking structure at Thomas Jefferson ... ?

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][b]https://www.arlingtonva.us/contact-arlington/[/b][/url]&gt;[/quote]

There is a separate school bond. You can argue that the county should use less of its bonding capacity for parks and other infrastructure, but if you accuse them of "only" spending $12m on schools they will ignore you because you're missing the point.[/quote]
