[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Concerning the new Discovery ES, where a few S Arlington families transferred into, it is easy to forget that the neighborhoods in far North Arlington opposed the new elementary school when it was first proposed.

The overcrowding was at a critical point however, and so the neighborhoods had no choice but to accept the inevitable. It will be a beautiful facility, arguably the best in the county, but the design or the money spent has nothing to do with the neighborhoods it will serve. [/quote]

uh huh...

South Arlington faced the same issue with opposition to the TJ site. I believe mary hynes said we should wait and be crowded a little longer down here. She's such a gem. Sure gonna miss her...
There is a working group now and they are supposed to have an answer by December I believe. [/quote]

That group isn't going to figure anything out. Every south Arlington school, civic association, and marginally related organization got to designate a representative to the working group. They spend the meetings each coming up with reasons why some other neighborhood should get the new school. They don't work as a group toward a common purpose, so the whole thing is a waste of time. This is what the Arlington Way has turned into. [/quote]
