[quote=Anonymous]A lot of North Arlington homeowners and parents weren't thrilled about the traffic impact of Discovery being built on the Williamsburg Campus, but it passed anyway.  A lot of people were protesting the conversion of Strathmore from HB Woodlawn to a middle school, but it passed anyway.  That is how two new schools are being built in North Arlington.  The land was there, and already owned by APS, so the construction is happening.

South Arlington homeowners and parents protested the addition of an elementary school to the campus of Thomas Jefferson MS to the point that it was not accepted.  If you want a new elementary school in South Arlington, it needs to go somewhere.  If the most likely location gets vetoed, then there needs to be another suggestion.  I don't see anyone making suggestions.  Where should a new elementary school go?  Or should there be additions to all the existing elementary schools with overcrowding issues?

It's easy to say, "South Arlington gets no respect." But at some point you have to help find a solution and not just say there's a problem.  Everyone knows there's a problem.
