The obvious solution is the one proposed in 2015 - put Dorothy Hamm MS at Rosslyn and move HBW back to their old home on Vacation Lane. Then kids who live near Vacation Lane can be bused to Williamsburg like they were in the good old days, or they can be be bused to the fancy new building in Rosslyn.[/quote]

Not so obvious.  After building/renovations, neither school building is appropriate for the population of the other.  [/quote]

The other poster has no idea what they are talking about. That ship sailed when they designed each building for each program. DH peeps will just have to suck it up and be bused oh what 1.5 miles to WMS. [/quote]

Donaldson Run families several years ago: Don't send our snowflakes to Rosslyn. Make HB and Stratford programs take that yucky urban plot in Rosslyn.

DR families now: You mean there were downsides to us getting exactly what we asked for? Oh wait...

The rest of Arlington: You made your bed, lie in it[/quote]

I didn't even live in DR when the decisions for Hamm were being made. I have no idea what happened in that process. My oldest was a toddler then, I'm guessing. She will now be impacted by this rezoning. The people you are yelling at? They're no longer here. You can't hurt them. But thanks for being so bitter towards those of us who played no role in that.[/quote]

The issue is the Taylor PTA over the years has a history of being demanding - demanding they should be given HBW's building on Vacation Lane, demanding their kids shouldn't be put on a bus, demanding this that and the other. Long timers just roll our eyes when we hear about the Taylor PTA again.[/quote]

Oh here we go with the APS staff.   Go back to trolling the Nottingham PTA on that thread.   Soo old.  We know, you hate the N Arlington PTA moms.   [/quote]

I’m definitely not APS staff and I agree with the PP. Some parent groups are worse than others. [/quote]

So right now it’s Taylor and Nottingham though right?   Those are the bad ones.  The ones that are impacted this crazy round.  Tell me about the PTAs in North Arlington you are think behaved so well during their impacted round?[/quote]

To be honest, I was surprised that the whole [b]Key School to ATS to McKinley to Cardinal plan worked[/b]. That was crazier and far more complex than the proposal to put a percentage of Hamm kids on a bus to go to Williamsburg MS, just like their older neighbors did a decade ago. Fairfax parents don't seem to squawk as much about rezoning.[/quote]

Nice gaslighting.  It was expensive and made little sense.  Disruptive and showed a preference for option schools over neighborhood schools. [/quote]

It actually made a lot of sense on every level.  However, the McKinley PTA did behave badly.  They just didn't get their way.  Who knows.  I guess every once in a while the School Board puts on big boy/girl panties and just does something reasonable instead of listening to whiners.[/quote]

Exactly don’t listen to some random vision board, do the analysis. [/quote]
