[quote=Anonymous]Both Providence and Mosaic are very large, and will remain so. FCPS had plans to fund another elementary school in the Fairfax/Oakton area and the School Board member from the Providence District, Karl Frisch, saw that those funds were reallocated (1) to ensure that Blake Lane Park was off limits as a site for a new school and (2) to renovate a building in Vienna (Dunn Loring) that has been used for administrative purposes but isn't especially close to growth areas. So if you find either school impersonal or crowded in the future years, you'll have Frisch to thank, just as parents at some of the schools further east will end up inconvenienced when Dunn Loring reopens and there are major boundary changes affecting multiple schools (when a few smaller changes would have addressed the overcrowding issue that had existed at one school in particular pre-Covid). It's a shame we don't elect more scrupulous School Board members, but it's a lot of time for not much pay, so the people who end up on the School Board tend not to be the best people and to have personal agendas, which in Frisch's case apparently meant currying favor with some local environmentalists rather than serving the needs of FCPS families.
