[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely seems like Dunn-Loring should be revisited in light of the COVID enrollment drops... but latest CIP shows Mosaic and Oakton also not over capacity and projected to be at sub-95% capacity in 5 years, so not sure why people are demanding relief there instead?

Also the claimed numbers for several Tysons area ES projected at sub-70% capacity, where are those from? Have you looked at the CIP (https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/Adopted-CIP-2024-28.pdf)? Most are projected in the 80s and 90s... only Freedom Hill notably lower at 71%. You also left out over-capacity Pine Spring... which could see relief (Merrifield area west of 495 makes sense at Stenwood, easy access via Gallows, and Stenwood will have the capacity available by ceding area to Dunn-Loring.[/quote]

Nice try, Karl.

Freedom Hill and Vienna are both near the Dunn Loring site and projected to be under 80% capacity. And since when do we build new schools when the nearby schools are all under-enrolled?  The only “problem” being solved by Frisch’s Folly is making sure another school doesn’t get built elsewhere.

Pine Spring is projected to be at, not above, capacity in a few years and, if there were a need to address overcrowding there, it could easily be done by moving kids to other ES in the same (Falls Church) pyramid, and not by creating a new split feeder to Marshall and Falls Church.

[b]If Frisch wins again, it won’t be on the merits.[/b] It will be because people are uninformed or are overwhelmed by the number of yard signs someone with a big budget can stick in medians all over Providence. He’s still an idiot. [/quote]

Nope it will be because we don't want Sabio on the Board and I don't blame them. He wants armed guards in every school, he compares schools to war zones. No thank you.[/quote]
