I consider myself moderate, but man, I love this! Let’s hold the school board accountable!

No, this will just make them double down, the SB and Reid are infallible. They are doing what is right for the parents and kids in Fairfax County. The people on DCUM are just to dumb to appreciate it.

Sometimes, you can dupe people, but this is like denying climate change. It would still happen whether they deny it or not.

Disrupting school communities, neighborhoods, staffs, and--especially--children, is right for parents and kids?

Please explain what is "right" about this?
So far, from where I live, I have not seen worse suggestions for attendance islands, neighborhoods, and transportation. This is good for parents and kids?

The willingness of some who welcome a new HS at KAA to make misleading comments about the cost of a simple addition is troubling. Are they intentionally trying to inflate the cost to support the claim the KAA purchase is a bargain or are they just dense? At this point it's hard to tell.

Reminder: West Springfield construction was begun--and finished- several years ago. The last CIP said $93 million. Someone stated it was under budget, but I cannot find a number.
The CIP for Centreville expansion is almost $300 million.

Those are real numbers. Again, the foes of the new high school keep saying that it is too much money. Sorry, but I find that $150 million for the academy and two additional buildings where a school is needed is a bargain. And, it comes with furnishings.
I'm really sorry that you are so jealous of kids having the possibility of a school in their community instead of being sent over hill and dale to go to school upsets you so much.
Just think of the savings on bus transportation! Over the years, that adds up, too.
There has not been a viable option presented that allows these students to attend a school that is a reasonable distance and allows some stability. The current redistricting with THRU is further tearing up the neighborhoods.

DP. Who’s jealous? My kid’s going to that humanities magnet. I’m pumped!

Is that why Reid said the KAA purchase won't have any impact on the ongoing boundary study? Because they'll use it as a magnet that won't impact any boundaries because it's open to all students in the county?

Doubtful. She just wants to continue the fiasco that is the boundary study. It's hard to admit you made a mistake. You'd think this KAA facility would be a great excuse to stop it, but, I guess they have too much invested in it. Wonder how much in overruns THRU has had over the $500k? And, I also if anyone has added up staff hours spent on this... it is not insubstantial.

This alone should delay it. Fall 2026 is far too ambitious. Throwing in the fact that they voted on the phasing language without truly knowing how this will cause school overcrowding to be worse for some time, it’s all a mess.

Fall 2026 to open KAA is fine. Its practically turnkey!
They should have fixed Coates already. I don't know why they have let that get so out of hand.

FCPS lets schools stay overcrowded for a decade without making the necessary investments. Did you just fall off a turnip truck?

I suggested earlier that they should use one of those extra KAA buildings for 5th and 6th grade this year. They have enough AP's that one could be full time there and I am guessing someone on the clerical staff and janitorial staff could also be there.
This should NOT be a permanent solution, but it could be a solution for now. Apparently, additional trailers planned will just add to the lack of infrastructure support there that is lacking already (bathroom facilities, etc.)

Agreed on that end, but that should happen prior to or in conjunction with the boundary conversations. I’m not holding my breath that they’ll address this in the next phase of maps.

So why hasn’t Robyn Lady done anything about it? Isn’t most of Coates in her district?

Coates is almost entirely Hunter Mill. Hunter Mill SB members get elected to mistreat Coates/McNair/Floris/Oak Hill to serve Reston's interests.

This is false. Coates is located in Dranesville and more Coates students live in Dranesville than any other district. Some live in Hunter Mill and Sully, but not as many.

The failure to deal with Coates’ severe overcrowding is on Robyn Lady. She’s excited about FCPS spending over $150 million on a school she claims will benefit Chantilly, where she used to work, but too lazy to help the schools in her own district.

Sorry, PP here - you are right, Coates is indeed in Dranesville. Carry on!
