[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SB is already perfectly happy to carve out Gillian Place for Barcroft while having the planning units full of nice homes go to Fleet. The SB wants more higher performing schools in South Arlington. Fleet would have been even with the old Henry boundary, but easier to have just a couple very low performing schools (Barcroft, Randolph and Carlin Springs) and concentrate resources there. They don't care about property values.[/quote]

The sad truth is that the reason may be their constituents. Believe it or not, but there are some neighborhoods with retirees who are fighting against any changes, improvements, etc. They flat out say that they want to keep property values low.  Because they have the time, they are heavily engaged in civic associations and working and planning groups, and they call up politicians and so on.  They have a vision of what they think is right, and little concern for families and kids they don’t know and whether schools have trailers, and lunch at 10am.
