[quote] Ah, so AAP is untouchable for dealing with overcrowding, and instead it was better to put kids in an office building whose outdoor space was some four-square grids drawn on a blacktop. Got it. [/quote]

I don't understand this. What is being described here?
In instances where AAP centers have resulted in overcrowding, FFX has created new AAP centers, redrawn the AAP lines, and also created Level IV programs at feeder schools. AAP has not been "untouchable."[/quote]

PP has asserted that if FCPS faced the kinds of overcrowding APS is, it would disband choice programs and turn them into expanded neighborhood schools to accommodate more students. AAP is a choice program, and yet when FCPS has faced terrible overcrowding, it hasn't disbanded those programs in order to better manage neighborhood school capacity.

[b]When FCPS considers disbanding TJ to deal with overcrowding,[/b] then you can talk about HB Woodlawn.[/quote]

DP.  I also don't really understand the analogy, beyond attacking AAP.  And attacking Bailey's as a bonus.

FCPS builds more high schools.  They don't have to disband TJ.  [/quote]

I'm not attacking AAP, I'm pointing out that pp is making stuff up when they claim that FCPS would disband choice programs before allowing overcrowding to exist at neighborhood schools.[/quote]

My point was, APS needs to build a 4th high school.  Then no one will complain about HB Woodlawn.

FCPS doesn't have that problem, because FCPS builds more high schools.  [/quote]

If you'd been following the CIP process, it's pretty clear APS is going to build the fourth high school despite neighborhood opposition.[/quote]

I have been following the process, but none of it is clear to me.  Where are they going to build it?  It seemed like all the potential places were vetoed or wouldn't work, for one reason or another.  [/quote]
