[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The building was needed whether for HB or Hamm. If you think the building was too much, go advocate to the board the next time they want to build a new building to lower the cost. The actual program doesn’t cost more than at a standard HS, other than busing. And I don’t see anyone complaining about the busing at Claremont, Key, MPSA, ATS, or Gunston.[/quote]

And regarding busing, APS already owned the site and wanted to use it for a brand new school. Busing would have been a component whatever the program or school. [/quote]

Not if they made it an elementary school, which is needed in Rosslyn[/quote]

Oh right. Lots of 5, 6 and 7 year olds walking to and from school at that site. Have you actually been there? Walked around? I can't imagine many Arlington parents wanting their little ones walking to school in that quagmire of construction, sidewalks, and city mess. Plus, since HB opened at that location, there have been so many construction projects going on. It made sense to make it a school where older kids attended. [/quote]

Uh, 5 year olds are not allowed to walk to school alone anywhere in the county.

And I lived in a nearby apt with kids. It was great. I miss that little playground.

But it would have been a very walkable elementary where seats are needed. [/quote]
