ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Alexandria City School Board members said Tuesday that they have not decided how to relieve crowding in the division's middle schools. They spoke at what members described as the board's first town hall, where they answered questions submitted on cards, online and in advance.
The town hall followed a public hearing on Acting Superintendent Grace Taylor's proposed $370.6 million, 10-year capital budget. Two people spoke during the seven-minute hearing, and both urged the board to rethink its plans for middle schools. Taylor's proposal includes converting Jefferson-Houston PreK-8 School into a middle school and Patrick Henry K-8 School into a K-5 school.
"No decisions have been made as of yet," board member Ryan Reyna said at the town hall.
