In June 2014, the Arlington Public Schools (APS) School Board identified the TJ Site as a preferred location for a new elementary school in APS Capital Improvement Plan. Because some of the land parcels are owned by the County, not by APS, the County Board will consider and vote on the use of this site.
In July 2014, the County Board adopted a TJ Working Group Charge and directed the County Manager to bring together community members, APS and County staff for a robust dialogue about the future of this site. The Working Group Charge outlines a five-month study process, site specific goals, evaluation criteria, and expectations of the Working Group.
