[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how would a county-wide all-school lottery system even be considered? Seems like everything gets stuck or doesn't progress if it's limited to the School Board. I for one would want to see this on an Arlington ballot for everyone to vote on. Sounds like Arlington has changed a lot in the last 30 years or so. I'm sure it will change even more in the next 30.... what wasn't pursued then might have broader county wide support as different solution sets appear. [/quote]

I don't want this on the ballot unless someone has addressed how the increase transportation costs would be financed.  The county has seemed totally disinclined to provide more funding for APS and is unconcerned with the effect its housing policies have on the school system, so I doubt APS is getting more money from them for such an initiative.  The last thing APS needs is a voter-imposed requirement to provide this program without the means to pay for it.

What do you plan to cut?[/quote]
