ALXnow.com is opening its doors to reader opinions by accepting letters to the editor.
The first batch of submissions includes a letter from parents of the “Scroggins Triangle.” They’re worried about how the ongoing redistricting in Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) might shuffle students around. Their main point? Keep disruptions to a minimum during this change.
Rachael Von Elmendorf, who co-owns Misha’s Coffee and teaches in Alexandria, didn’t hold back in her letter. She’s firmly against the planned Waterfront Flood Mitigation Project.
Katie Bilek, an Alexandria local and mom from Cameron Station, also commented on the school board’s redistricting plans.
