EVEN IF it cost significantly extra (which it doesn’t), it would still be worth it. Gifted learners deserve an appropriate education, too.

If you look at tuition to this school, it's 18K ish per kid which is what the cost per kid is at all of our high schools. It is a wash. This is not a hard concept. It's addition, subtraction, multiplication and division math. Not hard math. It's also publicly available information. Arlington also has a really easy to read BUDGET document, by school, by sped, by gifted, by whatever you want to complain about.

Seriously, the idiots. It's like dumpster's win let all the idiots feel comfortable with their ill-informed hostility. And what's there to be hostile about? Some kid got into THSSSHST (can't ever remember the letters). Some kid got into IB. Some kid is rocking the AP classes and some kid is taking truck repair at the ACC. Great for all of them! and we get all those options and choices for about x-bar $18k per kid.

That said,It was about $18K in '22 and last time I looked at ARL in general, it was about $18K so educating the brilliant outside of APS doesn't really cost us anything more. Unless the free bus rides are true. We can't "bus ride" those who stay in the county....

18K total? Or per student?

I’m not the reason dump won, this idiot is.

You say it’s fine to throw huge sums of money at sped and kids who are here illegally, but spending money on the gifted kids isn’t allowed.

You know who is busy developing the minds of their best and brightest? Our foreign adversaries.

But, well done, you. *slow clap*

Where did anyone say it cost huge sums for TJ? From the budget last year it was less or similar to APS spend on in district students.

No one said that. Go back and read.

I really truly cannot understand how stupid people are to say that it costs the start same for Arlington to PAY TUITION TO FAIRFAX or rather educate the kids who reside in Arlington in existing buildings with existing teachers and existing books and existing cafeterias. It’s like people don’t understand how money works. If the kids can’t go to TJ, YHS takes them and guess what, we may have to hire a few more teachers, but some Chromebooks but Arlington ain’t building them a new school or hiring a bunch more janitors for these additional kids. It’s ludicrous.

It's only incremental until you realize that we don't have buses to get 100 more kids to Yorktown, places to park those buses, drivers for those buses, classrooms, teachers, counselors, coaches, etc. Wakefield is already overcrowded. WL is supersized. APS isn't really equipped to absorb another 100+ students. Why not take advantage of the extra state funding that's provided to a regional governor's school? You want all that extra funding to only benefit Fairfax students?

Man… I’ve always been anti-voucher/school choice, but morons like you make me wonder if it may be good after all.

I’ve always thought it would destroy public schools, but since they’re turning to sh*t anyway…

It's on the chopping block in the new budget discussions so if it is important to you write to the board.

PP did not say that.

You are the reason Trump won - making up fake narratives to drive division.

Go back and read. “Smart kids will be juuust fiiiiiine without TJ.”
