[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In every thriving community, leadership plays a pivotal role in attracting and retaining top talent. Yet, in our city, an unsettling trend has emerged: highly skilled employees are leaving their positions, and many point to the same cause the city manager. If the city is bleeding talent, shouldn’t we be asking why?

Alexandria is not a city where people ask why, as the pp claiming the city "runs on autopilot" demonstrates. Take the school system as an example, it's horrible and has only one single high school to serve their huge population. No one ever questions any of it [/quote]

No ones questioned that many school goer's for that population size. They've turned a blind eye to md and dc students "using" their school. Spent millions and millions of tax payers dollars on redoing the elementary school, hs and middle school knowingly turning blind eyes the whole time. A good portion of those pupils aren't city residents at all.[/quote]

Our local elementary school was re-done last year.   The head of our civic association (who has kids in the school) has talked to people dropping off kids with DC and Maryland plates all under the guise of joining the PTA.  Most of the people are very rude to her and say they have joint custody of the kids whose father or mother live in Alexandria.   A lot of the kids also use addresses for properties adminsitered by Alexandria Redevelopment Housing Authority and are paid a small fee to use the address.  If you look at the parking lots, they also have Maryland and DC tagged cars because "a grandson just got out of prison and is staying with his stepmother, cousin, grannie, etc. etc."    Alexandria is one big scam on schools and public housing.[/quote]
