[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Duran confirmed at last SB meeting that MPSA would have to relocate as new careeer center gets built.  Will it move to north Arlington and replace a school there or get a new school building in south Arlington? Any place that makes sense other than near the current site? [/quote]

If they build a NEW school for a program again there will be pitchforks.

Buh bye Nottingham, you know most of your kids will be private in 4 years anyway. [/quote]

I look forward to my home value going up even more when my house is walkable to Discovery and MPSA.[/quote]

Agree but MPSA will have to go to Discovery or Tuckahoe.  Easier for Nottingham to take trailers and it is the most walkable neighborhood school.[/quote]

Discovery has repeatedly been ruled out as a choice school location precisely because it can’t accommodate relocatables or expansion. Not that a choice school is going to happen in any case, but if people are interested in the SB’s thoughts on potential locations, they can revisit the materials from a few years ago. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Nottingham’s ability to take trailers makes it more attractive as a choice school location, especially since overcrowding in the neighborhood isn’t projected at all.

DP.  That is a really stupid calculus.  They can easily control the size of an option school, but have little control over neighborhood population growth.  Also, APS tried this with Nottingham several years ago and it got shut down because of the 17 different ways that it was demonstrated to be a foolish plan.  I mean, they literally refused to do a traffic study in that process because they knew that alone would prove it infeasible. [/quote]

Because they can control the size of an option school, they can increase the size to help relieve crowding throughout the county, not just one neighborhood.[/quote]
