[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the sites in your memo have been developed.  They need to start looking for more sites for schools[/quote]

Here are the latest contenders: https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/arlington/Board.nsf/files/BJGHHK489469/$file/F-3%20FY21-30%20CIP%20Direction.pdf

There’s also a list with county owned properties for longer range planning, but I can’t find it. It was a memo from the county to APS I think. [/quote]

Ah here it is. Note that these are mostly parks and community centers that would require a long process and a lot of fighting with the old people and other entrenched interests (tree people, historic preservation people, sports people, etc.) of Arlington County to turn into school sites.

Wow.  I never saw this.  I really wonder why aps hasn’t taken the county up on developing some of these sites.  The Arlington arts center should become an elementary school again, and there was that idea of a sixth grade academy (or maybe they could make some sort of an option school program) at Dawson’s terrace or one of the south Arlington sites.

Read the letter. The places not under current study (Quincy/Buck, VHC on Carlin Springs, and Aurora Hills) are only offered as potential long term solutions in the 10+ year time frame - and even then only after a lengthy community engagement process. They aren’t currently on offer, the county is just saying they are sites that theoretically could work if you jump through all the hoops.[/quote]
