Civic leaders in Arlington said they support a $33 million school bond package — including more than $24 million for the renovation of Yorktown High School — despite concerns from the Arlington County Civic Federation schools committee.

The federation, a nonpartisan group composed of leaders from 83 civic groups in the county, eventually voted to back the school bond package, going against the recommendation of the schools committee. Committee Chair Beth Wolffe told The Examiner that her panel decided not to support the package because plans for the school were not finalized.
