McLean is never going to get a significant expansion. This legitimate complaint by McLean parents has been going on for years. With no real results. They have threatened to incorporate the town - they have threatened to vote out school board members - and didn't get any results. Redistricting and patchwork improvements will continue.

Why not move? Lots of other good schools and nice places to live. [/quote]

McLean will get a significant expansion eventually but before that happens FCPS will have to come out with a new renovation queue and they will probably move some kids to Falls Church first.

There's not really any sound defense to leaving McLean with the fewest permanent seats of any HS in FCPS when multiple areas that the Board of Supervisors has targeted for growth (Tysons, West Falls Church, and downtown McLean) feed in whole or in part to McLean.  But the School Board and the Board of Supervisors don't coordinate very well.

They do find ways to make patchwork improvements to the facility (examples - gym floors, fields, labs, roof, bathrooms, tiles).  As long as it's done quietly, so the haters can't complain about any money getting spent on McLean, it works out OK.  Again, very few families in the pyramid try to pupil place their kids to other schools with spiffier buildings. [/quote]
