[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a shame FCPS isn’t taking the $80M getting wasted on Dunn Loring ES to build additions to Chantilly HS and McLean HS. But since there’s no sign of that happening it appears part of Chantilly will get moved to Centreville in a few years. Whether Chantilly’s boundaries are “compact” won’t matter one bit. [/quote] Nope. At best they should use some of that money on expanding Shrevewood, which WILL be overcrowded again in the future, despite the principal's best attempts at getting rid of tiger mommas![/quote] That money on the Dunn Loring Elementary should go back to Fairfax/Oakton. They are approving a massive development on the AT&T site in Oakton and office building across from Oakmarr Rec Center are being torn down and townhouses built. The school is needed where the voters originally approved the bond for, I know the Blake Lane Park, formerly Blake Lane School site is out thanks to Mr. Frisch, but there should be other options. [/quote] It looks like that development would feed into Oakton ES/Thoreau MS/Oakton HS. Oakton ES is close to full capacity now. But, too bad. Frisch has made sure it will be decades before any new ES gets discussed again in the Fairfax/Oakton area. Dunn Loring is too far along (in terms of planning and publicity, though not construction) to pull back now. When it opens it will force major and unnecessary boundary changes in the eastern Vienna area so that Frisch - who by then will be running for some other office - won't look like a total idiot. But it won't do anything for schools further west. [/quote]
