Not sure that's the inference I'd draw.  When both Barbara Comstock and Jim Moran support the same thing, as is the case here, you might conclude there is considerable support.

The primary opponents are people at Falls Church HS who worry that the charter school will attract students from their school, delay its renovation (since the renovation schedule takes into account, among other things, whether a school is above or below capacity) and/or be perceived as a sign that Falls Church isn't doing a good job with its at-risk students.   The charter school would be housed in what's currently Graham Road ES, which is within the Falls Church HS district.   FCPS plans to move the elementary students at that school to a new building that is also on Graham Road, but closer to Lee Highway.   [/quote]
