For those who were unable to attend, the meeting was streamed online and you can provide input at aps2016.apsva.us/engage/education-center/. Staff is receiving comments through November 1. You can also email comments to engage@apsva.us. The School Board has approved the planning for 500-600 high school seats to be added at the Education Center.

The new seats could be used for:

Expansion of Washington-Lee by 600 seats
Open a new high school program with approximately 500 seats (options identified in ACI’s annual report, 2016)

The working group will review community input and determine a final recommendation for the School Board to consider at their meeting on Nov. 2. The Board is expected to take final action on a proposal on Tue, Nov. 14. For more information, visit the APS Engage webpage at aps2016.apsva.us/engage/education-center.
