[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an honest to goodness question. Why does ‘McLean HS is WAY over capacity’ come up all the time, when there are other schools (Centreville, Chantilly for example) that are even more so, and no one makes a peep about any of it?[/quote]

It’s not “for example.” They are the only two high schools in FCPS that are currently more overcrowded than McLean based on the # of permanent seats.

FCPS has already budgeted for a major renovation and expansion of Centreville soon. PP addressed Chantilly - people who live near the school don’t want to get moved to other schools much further away.

And much more additional housing is in the pipeline in the McLean district than in either the Centreville or Chantilly district.  This isn’t by chance as it’s based on specific decisions by the Board of Supervisors to concentrate multi-family developments in areas that feed into McLean (and Marshall).

Maintenance work over the summer at McLean doesn’t address the current overcrowding, much less the additional students who will eventually attend the school with the growth in Tysons, West Falls Church, and downtown McLean.  If the county isn’t prepared to invest more in the school, they should put a moratorium on the development. [/quote]
