[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county isn't anticipating a large influx of children from the new projects because they contain small units, which attract primarily singles and couples.  They expect Westbriar and other nearby schools to absorb the additional children at first.  [/quote]

I'm not so sure that is the case. Janie Strauss said that they were anticipating a need for 5 more schools in the Tyson's area within the next 10 years. Condos and apartments in this area definitely draw in families. Any Falls Church City resident can tell you about the major overcrowding that all the new high rise condos in the city have created.

I believe Westbriar may already be over capacity. The only school in the Tyson's area that had space was Lemon Road, but that is a thing of the past with the new AAP center being created. [/quote]

Can you give me a reference for the Janie Strauss' statement?  If she is saying this, then she should be out front pushing for these new schools.  [/quote]

She said this at the October meeting at Haycock. [/quote]
