[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"You"? It's us vs them, eh? Very nice. I'm a N Arlington resident actually. Funny that you pointed me to the slides but then say that S Arlington will have more than enough seats. Did you not see the massive ES seat deficit on the horizon? Self-serving, much?[/quote]

There's going to be a massive seat deficit all around the county. The School Board and County Board admit they missed the influx of students from single family home turnover over the last 10-15 years, but they are still pushing the company line that apartments and condos do not generate students in a meaningful way and continue to approve large developments with hundreds of units (both market rate and dedicated affordable). I think this will be the source of the next major miss in growth projections as the county continues to become more urban. [/quote]

Regardless of what quadrant has the greatest deficit of seats in 7 years, I think we can agree that building a new ES at that time won't in any way provide the seats that will be missing if we tear down Henry. Nice attempt to change the subject though. The point from above was that the costs of replacing the Henry seats (either at the Ed Center or elsewhere) are not being mentioned either in thd CIP or the elementary process. They will be significant.[/quote]

The seats at Henry are going away regardless because they need the full parcel for a high school (and if you have kids old enough to be worrying about this current elementary process, you really need to be focused on the high school process as well because it will have a substantial effect on the quality of your kids' high school experience). The CIP is planning for adding as many extra elementary seats as they think they can feasibly accomplish, but I don't know what else you expect them to do.[/quote]
