[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The families being rezoned to Williamsburg would have vigorously defended their right to attend Williamsburg before Hamm opened.  That's where they were zoned historically.  But now it's suddenly too inconvenient?  For a cohort of families with amongst the most resources in Arlington?

[b]Instead they're now asking for a cohort of families with far fewer resources and means to trek across the county for MS?[/b]  Most immersion students live in the Gunston/Wakefield boundary.  That's a long way from Williamsburg.  And the program collapses without the Spanish speaking classmates, so that would be the end of it.  All so a few very privileged kids don't have to travel to an excellent MS that was considered their preferred option just a few years ago.[/quote]

I mean south arlington families are about to have to do it for a Nottingham swing space. That’s somehow ok but going for MS is not?[/quote]
If you've read the thread that we've already discussed this and there's no other option.  APS says they need students to move elsewhere for a period of time.  Tents in the parking lot won't work.  It's not like there are lots of alternatives.  It's also only temporary.[/quote]
