Complete rebuilds save a lot of money over a complex, phased renovation. But where would the McLean kids all go in the interim? There are no more vacant, abandoned high schools to use. FCPS demolished the decrepit, abandoned Falls Church HS (on cherry street) to sell to a developer of luxury town homes twenty years ago. I suppose they could build a brand new new school on McLean’s football field while classes continue in the old one. The school could then share the field at Langley during construction. Or maybe pay Arlington Parks Dept to use the Greenbrier Stadium adjacent to nearby Yorktown HS. [/quote]

I completely agree that FCPS has done terribly with stewarding their land resources. Having extra land would allow them the chance to raze and rebuild, but they seem to have frittered away all those opportunities by continuing to close down schools and then sell them off. The county does own the land across from the track, they will need to use that. So much for green space. [/quote]

I thought FPCS was precluded by environmental reasons from ever encroaching upon the parcel owned by the park authority. [/quote]
