CRIME NEWS

EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ An auditor said Arlington Public Schools has many problems in its HR department — only 25 percent of HR workers and 24 percent of school staff said they received the help they needed, exposing gaps in training and rules. School leaders promised to fix the issues by making new procedures and training workers, and HR head Corey Dotson will update the board in May. ARLnow
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Arlington Public Library faces a tough budget choice as the proposed FY 2026 plan offers $18.9 million—2.2% less than last year—that may reduce staff and new materials. Library officials warn that fewer workers and cuts in electronic items could drop checkouts from 3.9 million to 3 million. ARLnow
LIFESTYLE NEWS
- ➤ A 20-year-old Arlington man caught his biggest catfish near Chain Bridge on Wednesday. Stanley 'Sebby' Brock III said he reeled in the massive fish using chopped eel as bait at the Potomac — he returned later to try for an even bigger catch. ARLnow
REAL ESTATE NEWS
- ➤ Several open houses are scheduled in Arlington this weekend to let buyers tour a range of homes from single-family houses to condos. One listing features a 4 bed and 2.5 bath home with a small greenhouse and detached garage, while other events run on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 4 p.m., 1 to 3 p.m. or 2 to 4 p.m. — details vary by location.

- ➤ Members of a Green Valley church and nearby residents raised concerns over a proposed redevelopment that will convert two hotels and a parking lot at 2480 S. Glebe Road into 531 residential units with fewer roadway access points—an action scheduled for County Board review on April 5. Planning officials and community members worry that the mostly market-rate project may worsen gentrification in this traditionally Black neighborhood by offering limited affordable housing. ARLnow
