[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people who seem opposed to a PTA raising money for nice, even extravagant, features for their school, what would you prefer those parents do instead? Send their kid (and all of their financial resources) to private school? Send their kid to public but not give money to the school? What does that help? It’s obviously well-off parents that fund this sort of project, but it’s not like only the rich kids in the school benefit from any enrichments. It makes the school better for all the kids that go there.

(This is setting aside the question of whether these sorts of improvements should now be relocated, and at whose expense. Just seems like some people object to the idea of the lab in the first place.)[/quote]

But that’s the real issue here- this could have flown under the radar and not been a big deal. APS stepped into this pile of manure when they decided it was necessary and beneficial to swap the schools AND promised the ASFS community to move its precious lab.  They should have just said, we need to swap the buildings and now ASFS will stand for Arlington Spanish Focus & Science and Key will just be Key[Neighborhood] School.  Why does this one community get such special treatment from APS???  If the boundaries around Discovery change and some of the current community have to move, are they entitled to get a new or recreated slide at the building they get sent to?[/quote]

^THIS.  No way they can justify the costs for names changes on top of the already colossal waste of taxpayer dollars for this nonsense plan.  Just look at JEB-->Justice $1M price tag that Fairfax Co. went and begged for donations to help pay for.  What a waste of limited resources!  Arlington Spanish Focus School (ASFS) and Key Elementary stays Key Elementary[/quote]

Ok. Just rename W-L and stop the swap. Save some money.
