[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]

I complain about option school busing all the time. [/quote]

You are misinformed about the busing. With hub stops, institutes pre-pandemic, costs are down and it is a more efficient way to transport the kids. My HB DD takes the bus and picks it up at a hub stop. It also stops at the career center. At one time it stopped at the Arlington HS at the Langston building.

I'd rather start a discussion about how many parents drop their kids off at school - more cars on the road, more pollution, blocking intersections waiting for their kids at the end of the day. [/quote]

You are misinformed about the buses. HB still uses 2x as many buses per student attending the school as neighborhood secondary schools do. Even with hun stops. And their routes are twice as long. So HB transportation costs 4x as much and that isn’t including transportation back to neighborhood schools for band/sports etc.[/quote]
