[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am OP - incidentally, I am on the CARD mailing list. I do hope that does something. We don't want to move, but we would love it if the school got better before our kid gets there. It was better when we bought here and has since gone down hill from the report cards I can see on DOE. Something changed and I wondered if the rumors of what had happened elsewhere were true and if so what recourse I would have. I would rather stay here and have the school improve, but our kid's education comes first. [/quote]

Of course it comes first. It's disgraceful what has happened.
I'm glad you are involved with card, I am too. I'm concerned that we don't have the numbers to make enough noise.
Of course a new county board with new priorities would be really helpful. There is an opportunity to change the course the county has been on. It really needs to happen.
We shouldn't have to be trying to shoehorn our children into north Arlington schools. [/quote]

I'm new to all of this, but in the same boat.  Sorry to ask: But what HAS happened??
Will check the CARD group...   Can I find the report cards you mentioned on the APS website?  
What can possibly be done?  I mean one School Board election or another, it is all the same!  No one on the School OR County Board seems interested to improve the schools!?[/quote]

Mary Hynes and Walter Tejada are leaving and we will have two new board members. I'm personally thinking Dorsey and McMenamin ( independent ) are the best options for changing course.
The school board can only do so much. We need some people on the county board that will be able to have an honest conversation with us about housing Policy and what it does to the schools. It's unbelievable to me that We have board members who will not acknowledge what everyone knows. They are living in a fantasy land. Totally delusional.[/quote]
