[quote=Anonymous][quote] [b]HB is not a person or entity with any power. All decisions affecting HB are made by the school board. If there is "resource hoarding" what you mean is you don't like how the APS school board is allocating the capital budget among school projects. Direct your complaints to the actual decisionmakers.[/b] [/quote]

This is completely false.  Every time any mention is made of expanding the program, the HB community is very vocal against expansion. They argue the program only works because it's small, that a larger program would take away the feeling of family they have.

Direct quote from the official HBW FAQ page:

Virtually all of the HBW community see HBW’s size as an integral part of the educational experience, and members feel strongly that increasing HBW enrollment substantially would fundamentally change HBW’s model and jeopardize the school’s success. As the only non-traditional middle and high school in Arlington, HBW provides each student the flexibility to design an educational program that works well for him or her and the opportunity to take additional classes, including independent study.[/quote]
