[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For someone who said the SB is volunteer, they are not. They do get paid, albeit a low amount. But it's not a full-time job.

I'm an ACPS parent of three kids in elementary. I am just so tired of having to pay so close attention to what everyone else is echoing: school safety, curriculum, quality instruction, resources. My wife and I both have DC, in-person based jobs. We also cannot afford to live outside of an inner suburb. We lived in Takoma Park, Silver Spring, and even Chevy Chase before and it was a lot of the same things. We left Chevy Chase because of the cost of living, not walkable, and very much a lack of diversity.

I honestly am so disheartened about how ACPS treats their staff. So many principals and teachers are leaving. But I don't see anywhere around here "better". There are just different problems. [/quote]

APS is way better.  No it's not perfect but it's way better.[/quote]

I'm in South Arlington not far from Alexandria and in low income schools. But it doesn't sound near as bad as what I'm reading here.  There are still somewhat affordable townhouses and condos in the areas around me.  But it definitely doesn't have the charming atmosphere of Old Town, so... trade offs, I guess.[/quote]
