That makes no sense. Projects can run in parallel. And neighborhood schools should be funded as need arises — broken HVACs and kitchens aren’t renovations those are functional maintenance.

You all don’t understand long-term planning. The bond covers the next two years. There is also a 10 year CIP that includes funds for the next renovations. The decision about which of the five most in need schools will be next will be made by the SB in the next CIP process in 2026. The feasibility studies will inform that decision. So, yeah, vote no and delay everything another 2 years — kitchens, infrastructure, and that decision, everything.

Well that comes first, you don't just usually jump into something without the planning
But MPSA gets dedicated funds? While the others get a lousy “study”
GTFOH
Are you dense? This is how they start projects.
But they have committed NO funds! An easy way to make it seem like they care, while MPSA is a guaranteed thing!
No more option school funding until all neighborhood school issues have been addressed!

Well if you're trying to destroy public education, making public schools worse is the whole point

Ignoring our SA schools is what’s inequitable. No more option school funding till neighborhood schools are fixed.
South Arlington schools were actually the first to be completely rebuilt / renovated since APS overhauled the CIP program over 30 years ago:
- A renovated Gunston Middle School after reopening in 1994
- A brand new Kenmore Middle School
- Completely renovated Hoffman Boston
- Completely new Washington-Lee (Washington-Liberty) campus
These are all schools that serve a majority (over 50%) of students from South Arlington.
I believe the next schools that are in dire need of a complete rebuild or historically sensitive renovation include, TJ, Taylor, and Barrett. One of those serves a majority South Arlington population.
Tell me which part of the county serves the greatest number of students. Go on. Tell me.
The beautiful, new W-L Annex just opened to serve the growing South Arlington population. Next up would likely be TJ.
You’re acting like they spruced up Wakefield. W-L is in NA, lady.
The shiny new Wakefield building is less than 10 years old and just got a fancy new tech lab from Amazon. :roll:
The seats at W-L (and Tech) help offset the overcrowding at WHS.
TJ is on the list. That’s why they are doing the feasibility study.
Some people just like to complain.
TJ is on the list, except that won't go anywhere if the APEs and Rs get their way and the bond doesn't pass.
I’m not an R or APE but I’m a protest vote. TJMS gets a feasibility study and not a renovation. APS keeps funding vanity projects from old school board members instead of renovating neighborhood schools.

They didn't need to spruce up Wakefield, they tore down the old Wakefield and built a BRAND NEW high school not all that long ago.
When did they build a new Wakefield? I’m new to the area but have used their pool quite a bit. It seemed a little run down to me?
Run down??!! Are you sure you were at Wakefield?!

I will vote no. I don’t want to fund MPSA before the neighborhood schools get their needed renovations.
