Are you saying none of the schools are over capacity? That’s not true.

How are demographics changing to have less children in the system?
We lost 100+ kids last year at our elementary to private, moves, etc.
Jamestown?

Same difference. Not representative of the county.

Are you joking? The pandemic happened.
Yet housing is exploding in value under high demand, and new apartment are coming online.
+1. This decision is completely divorced from the reality of the housing market and the approved construction. Not to mention the missing middle study and Plan Langston Blvd or whatever we are calling the upzoning efforts these days. They have a ton of Affordable Housing coming online in 5 years and they are going to be caught with their pants down. As usual.

That was a one time blip, private are NOT expanding enrollment, people are returning to office so some may move back. Why do they think it will grow for the next 2 years, then drop again?

Let Duran continue to run the school system into the ground...population problem solved. Leaving APS for private next year. Grateful i have the funds to make that an option for my family. Some individual teachers have been great, but I have no faith in the future of this school district with this administration and school board.

With Arlington’s student enrollment now projected to be considerably lower in coming years than once anticipated, School Board members this week are likely to call off a planned elementary-school-redistricting process that had been slated for the fall.
“Small boundary adjustments” may still be needed, but a countywide look at elementary-school-boundary switcheroos would be off the table, under a proposal from Superintendent Franciso Durán.
