[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason why Reid and nearly all school personnel that have toured the school say they want a magnet school is because that is how the school is structured. They know the school will need a TON of remodeling if it is to be on par with the rest of the FCPS traditional schools and they know that the public will end up pissed off when the remodeling takes too long and costs too much in the long run. The school board doesn't give a shit. They want to give the people what is popular and know they will be long gone before the bill is due and the county is forced to swallow it.[/quote]It shouldn’t be that long. Had they went in with a better approach, this debacle wouldn’t have happened and I’m livid to my core that it did. 16 years ago, FCPS initially proposed it, but for some political centred reason, the BOS sold that land to the Saudis, when they could have built it elsewhere, but no, next to Carson they said, and then we bought it back. And now FCPS is proposing a magnet school, which has its own implications considering TJ pulls kids in from other districts. Guaranteed it wouldn’t be just FCPS students in an Aviation/Aerospace/AI/Robotics magnet, but they voted for a traditional school. I also don’t remember us taxpayers being informed on the purchase of the new school, and here we are! [/quote] TJ pulls in from other districts because it is a governor's school. Western is not. [/quote]They could try to make it one. You never know with this board.[/quote]
