[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people have argued on here that they are only doing S. Arlington elementary boundaries for 2019, but the agenda from the work session says for 2019: "Implement new elementary boundaries in S. Arlington and where possible in N. Arlington to alleviate crowding." Then for 2021: "Implement remaining elementary boundaries."

To me it would make sense to do redraw all the elementary boundaries at one time next year, then enact them in waves as schools come online, so S. Arlington/ASFS boundaries would take effect in 2019 when Fleet opens, and the rest would take effect in 2021 when Reed opens. Because going through it twice seems ridiculous.[/quote]

I'm sure they'll tweak a little bit in North Arlington where they can based on the new south Arlington boundaries to alleviate some of the overcrowding at McKinley and Glebe, but they're not going to do a full re-draw in North Arlington this spring. Not only would it make the process substantially more complex for the spring to have so many more moving parts, but Reed is still almost four years away and the projections will shift (as they always do) in the two years between this elementary boundary process and when they've scheduled to it for Reed. They're not going to re-draw North Arlington now and take the risk they'll have to do it again in two years anyway because something about the population has changed that will make the post-Reed boundaries significantly imbalanced.[/quote]
