The deal was supposed to have closed by 8/14, not 8/12. I would have thought there'd be a follow-up announcement if they were so sure this was actually a good deal.

Going to keep writhing until the bitter end I see. The deal closed, it's over. Might as well accept it.

No fanfare suggests there might be some buyer’s remorse. Will be interesting to see what comes next.

Or they're waiting until Monday because the Title IX email came out on Friday and they tend not to send out two emails about two different things on the same day.

The FCPS media department posted three different items on Friday, so that's probably not the issue. But if you're one of Reid's flunkies, maybe you can pull together an email this week (or not).

I don't work for FCPS but I do live in the area that is going to be served by this high school. I think mommies like you that seem to hate our school system so much really should move. You have plenty of options. I hear great thinks about Prince Wiliiam and Loudon. Maybe their values are more similar to yours, too. You would be happier there.

Or maybe you're just the type of person who has nothing better to do than complain, complain, complain about everything. Do you have any friends? I'm guessing no.

Ooh, snap.

No, it’s just clear this is a muted roll-out from folks who apparently thought they were getting a bargain but then realized they were even sure what they were buying.

Or, just maybe, they were stunned by the selfishness of one particular community.

DP. There was an email Reid sent out recently about the most recent BRAC meeting where she claimed she couldnt have sent it on time the day before because she had already sent an email about something else. That's probably what the PP was referencing.

^ Said the mommy who was criticizing FCPS non-stop until they suddenly announced out of the blue they were buying KAA. And now she pretends she wasn't a critic and expects everyone to sing their praises, too.

What a hypocrite.

They don't have to send an e-mail. They can just post that the purchase closed on the FCPS web site. And like PP noted they post multiple things some days.

There wouldn't be any reason to send an e-mail unless they are really communicating what their plans are for the new school and it's unlikely they have decided yet.

DP. What is it like to live in your own little world where you just make up your own reality? I see people (or maybe it’s just you) do this a lot when discussing FCPS decisions and actions. Trust me I am no fan of how the school board and Reid are going about things these days but it’s just bizarre to see people like you just fully make up intents and motives of people you have never met. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. In this case they just don’t really have any new info to share so no point in sending an email.

When they voted to buy KAA, one of the conditions was to close by August 14th.

August 14th came and went, and they did not tell the public whether the purchase closed. Some people came on here and said they closed on August 15th, a day later, but still no confirmation by FCPS.

One way or the other, they ought to tell people whether they closed the deal. If they actually had clear plans for this building, they ought to share them, too, but that's probably asking for too much. It's not making up ANYTHING to point out key questions about this transaction still remain unanswered, whether it's because they are unwilling to share the information or because they don't know themselves.

Some would think our elected School Board ought to have a decent plan in mind before they drop over $150 million in taxpayer money on a buidling, but others are fine with their doing so as long as they think they might benefit personally.

Its Loudoun.

I had the opportunity to speak with a board member. That person confirmed that the KAA purchase was indeed finalized.

Good to know, but i guess some on this thread are disappointed to hear this.

Here’s what you need to know: the school board does not care about you or what you think or want. They will do whatever they think is best regardless of your opinion. They do not feel they owe you anything and any input they ask for is generally just for show. You will be happier i

My post got cut off. You will be happier if you accept this fact and focus on other things in your life. If you hate it so much you really are better off moving because life is short and you seem to be spending a lot of energy being mad about something over which you have no control.

Thanks, but some of us will continue to call out FCPS and its School Board for its incompetence and lack of transparency. If that bothers you, move on to other threads.

Agree that our School Board usually makes terrible decisions. However, this decision was a good on and rights a wrong from a few years ago when they let that property go. (Honestly, I'm sure they had great pressure from the BOS who likely had pressure from the federal government to save an embarrassing and sensitive situation.)
There is actually a need for this school.

Or maybe you're just the type of person who has nothing better to do than complain, complain, complain about everything. Do you have any friends? I'm guessing no.

Ooh, snap.

No, it’s just clear this is a muted roll-out from folks who apparently thought they were getting a bargain but then realized they were even sure what they were buying.

DP. What is it like to live in your own little world where you just make up your own reality? I see people (or maybe it’s just you) do this a lot when discussing FCPS decisions and actions. Trust me I am no fan of how the school board and Reid are going about things these days but it’s just bizarre to see people like you just fully make up intents and motives of people you have never met. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. In this case they just don’t really have any new info to share so no point in sending an email.

When they voted to buy KAA, one of the conditions was to close by August 14th.

August 14th came and went, and they did not tell the public whether the purchase closed. Some people came on here and said they closed on August 15th, a day later, but still no confirmation by FCPS.

One way or the other, they ought to tell people whether they closed the deal. If they actually had clear plans for this building, they ought to share them, too, but that's probably asking for too much. It's not making up ANYTHING to point out key questions about this transaction still remain unanswered, whether it's because they are unwilling to share the information or because they don't know themselves.

Some would think our elected School Board ought to have a decent plan in mind before they drop over $150 million in taxpayer money on a buidling, but others are fine with their doing so as long as they think they might benefit personally.

Here’s what you need to know: the school board does not care about you or what you think or want. They will do whatever they think is best regardless of your opinion. They do not feel they owe you anything and any input they ask for is generally just for show. You will be happier i

My post got cut off. You will be happier if you accept this fact and focus on other things in your life. If you hate it so much you really are better off moving because life is short and you seem to be spending a lot of energy being mad about something over which you have no control.

Thanks, but some of us will continue to call out FCPS and its School Board for its incompetence and lack of transparency. If that bothers you, move on to other threads.

Agree that our School Board usually makes terrible decisions. However, this decision was a good on and rights a wrong from a few years ago when they let that property go. (Honestly, I'm sure they had great pressure from the BOS who likely had pressure from the federal government to save an embarrassing and sensitive situation.)
There is actually a need for this school.

It was more than a few years ago that they transferred that property to the Saudis. Since then they've expanded a number of other schools. Going by their own forecasts, adding another high school just creates more excess capacity by SY 2029-30. And there's no cost/benefit analysis to say KAA was the best use of supposedly limited FCPS funds.
