[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GFCA and MCA have both done and shared a lot of analysis with Tholen about future growth in the Langley pyramid and in Tysons (which feeds into McLean and Marshall).

FCPS admits its enrollment projections are based on a simplistic methodology that only takes into account new developments if the developer has broken ground, regardless of whether the county has approved the developments or paid the county proffer money.  The Tysons development in particular is going to add hundreds more kids to Marshall and McLean.

Tholen listens but is incredibly passive as if it’s all out of her hands. When an MCA member asked her point blank why FCPS isn’t planning now for an addition to McLean, she just smirked and talked about the 37-year renovation cycle, ignoring the other high schools like Justice or Madison where FCPS has built or is building additions outside the renovation cycle.,,

Years ago South County was built via a public private partnership.  Totally out of cycle and that initiative has been mentioned by Dan Storck within the last few year, Board of Supervisors Mount Vernon, who was on the school board at the time.  https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/Proposed-CIP-FY%202023-27.pdf

The only thing Tholen has done is move Shouse Village into Langley from Mclean which is just a continuation of the Colvin Run opening from about 20 years ago.  Not possible at the time.[/b]    No program funding or site changes, administrative boundary changes, no proposed other boundary changes. [/quote]
