[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McKinley parents did cause a commotion about the double planning unit trying to come en masse to McKinley, so I'm not sure you're correct that APS figures it can screw McKinley whenever it wants.  Nottingham lived for years with a whole army of trailers, and all of their complaining did nothing until fairly recently.  Haven't they sucked it up for quite a while? [/quote]

Yes, but Nottingham lived with trailers on a school built for 488 students. McKinley is going to continue to live with trailers on a school built for 684 students. Classroom trailers aren't the big deal. It is the 200 extra kids that need to use the same gym, cafeteria, shared school resources, etc. This is why it doesn't make sense to have your two biggest elementary schools in N. Arlington (McK and Ashlawn) take on even more enrollment when your smaller schools are under or at enrollment capacity. They should add the extra kids to the smaller schools. Which is why I don't understand why they didn't send BOTH planning units to Nottingham when that discussion came up. The Nottingham parents killed that option before it was ever raised to McKinley.  I was so glad to see those Glebe and Tuckahoe parents giving the APS guy a hard time at the meeting last week. It was nice to see some fight in them![/quote]
