[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So would it be feasible to build several more Arlington tech type schools in smaller locations? No they wouldn't have all the facilities but I know a lot of families would sacrifice access to a football field for smaller class sizes and more access to guidance counselors. [/quote]

IMO there may be families willing to sacrifice a football field, but they’ll otherwise in most cases want the same access to all the other classes and extracurriculars that the comprehensive high schools have. It also requires a lot more teachers, staff and bus drivers to have multiple small programs rather than a fourth comprehensive HS. Those are operating costs, though, which become a SB issue as opposed to capital construction. [/quote]

+1 I think the lack of arts options is a significant barrier right now to growing Arlington Tech.

I did think when the old Newseum/Artisphere space in Arlington was empty it would have been an interesting opportunity to create an arts school. [/quote]
