Our April meeting explored key County and School planning processes now underway. One emergent theme was the need for better County-School joint planning and information sharing. Collectively, many of us are active on these processes, or at least follow them. Most have good websites for meeting info and documents:
- Schools CIP—a ten-year plan to build new schools, renovate existing schools and related-issues like boundary changes. http://www.apsva.us/moreseats
- County CIP—ten year plan for infrastructure, parks and other investments—paid for by general obligation bonds approved by ballot. Due to be adopted on July 19th. The public hearing is June 10, 2014 @ 7pm. Advanced sign up through the website is possible. http://budget.arlingtonva.us/
capital-improvement-program/ - Schools Master Planning Capacity Planning Project—meeting dates announced through June; on a fast track http://www.apsva.us/Page/25416
“The Master Planning committee was created to ensure that APS assesses all significant and potentially feasible future options for capacity planning for the District. To break down the work into more manageable pieces, three working groups were created to further explore, investigate and analyze particular topic areas. The results of these working groups will then be brought back to the overall committee for synthesis, conflicts, synergies, and scenario development.”
