[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Re above post. [b]Also it appears the FCPS boundary changes are equity focused and directed by school board members who want to see a more even demographic distribution among schools,[/b] especially high schools. There are no plans for that in APS. [/quote]

Good for them!
"Progressive Arlington" always touting how it is a leader will have nothing to do with anything like that, despite being a fraction the size of FCPS and Fairfax County.

Because the epicenter of political power has traditionally been in N Arlington. (Although that may be shifting.) And large-scale boundary changes are sure to have political repercussions. When the school board was appointed, boundaries were easier to change at the macro level. [/quote]
I really don't think it's just about N Arlington power. I think parents across the county mostly want their kids to go to a school that is nearby and to stay with their cohort of friends.  I think APS can do better than the last disaster of a plan that still has everyone on edge and distristful that the next set of boundary revisions are going to be awful and are unwanted.[/quote]

That was a disaster. Proposing to bus kids who lived a block away from DHMS, who could see the school from their windows. [/quote]
Thank you, Taylor parent.  Good to see you're still vigilant.[/quote]

Don’t worry. I’m still watching.
