[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to build another highschool that is NOT within walking distance from each other. Like clear across the city. There are way too many teens in one place. [/quote]

They really missed a big opportunity for a second high school with Landmark Mall redevelopment.  Would have been a perfect location and could have added some really nice sports facilities too.[/quote]

The city could have negotiated with the developer to provide land and money for a new school. Oh well. [/quote]

Exactly.  Very short-sighted and huge missed opportunity.

They could also have negotiated with INOVA to build a school off Seminary once the old hospital is torn down but I hear they’re putting in townhouses.  What a failure to prioritize space for education in Alexandria.  I support housing too but what about more schools to go along with it?[/quote]

For years, school board members and city council members have said that new housing doesn't bring more kids to the schools. They cited "the consultants". Former School Board member Bill Campbell said this [b]a lot[/b] during the last ACPS redistricting. He's a very nice man but I was relieved when he wasn't elected to city council in the last election.

Alexandria is getting what it voted for. Next election results will be the same. Common sense does not have a home in Alexandria. [/quote]
