Arlington (Va.) district may not build elementary school as planned

Jan. 17, 2014
Board had planned to build elementary on middle school campus, but concerns about middle school crowding may take precedence.

The Arlington (Va.) School Board is reconsidering the plan to build a 600-seat elementary school on the campus that houses Kenmore Middle School. ARLnow.com says that voters approved $4.5 million in design costs for the school in 2012, but the board is looking at diverting that investment in anticipation of middle school overcrowding in the coming years.
