[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem here is not HB. The problem is a failure of the school board and county board to adequately plan for growth among young families in Arlington between 2000 and the present. HB is a convenient target, but neither the cause nor the solution to the overcrowding problems.  [/quote]

And it's not getting better. When my youngest started Kindergarten in 2011, the school board said they had no idea enrollment was going to get that big that people leave when kids are school aged.  The parents at that School Board meeting challenged them on this and mentioned the cranes, the housing boom and the sheer number of strollers and kids all over the County.

They kept saying over.and.over. that it will die off.  Here we are in 2017 and the over-crowding problem gets worse with each in-coming class.  They have to be incredibly stupid or they knew and lied.  I tend to think it's a little of both.

The post and arlnow recently had an article about the severe daycare shortage in the County.   These are future APS students---but don't worry we can count on them leaving the County before K, right :roll: ?[/quote]
