[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been to LA to see how crowded it is? It is not like they can just enlarge the school.  Well they can, but no one wants to pay the taxes.  Louise Archer has art in the hallways.  There is no art room.  The conference room was converted to a class room.  The only non-classrooms left are the Library, the lunch room, the gym, and the small front office.

And it might get worse, as the local government (town of vienna) does not want the trailers:  they want to know the counties plan to eliminate the trailers before allowing them to continue past 2014.

Yes, the school cn probably fit one or two more kids, of course.  But, 30 kids in one grade, and the school will burst.

Totally accurate. It's a crying shame that the two excellent art teachers have one narrow closet (yes, literally a closet) for ALL their materials and otherwise must operate in hallway space and trek around to each classroom with carts. It limits what they and the kids can do and I know (I have an LA student) that the kids who like art know perfectly well that they'd get more kinds of art to do if they had a real art classroom. But art's just one of the casualties of the overcrowding. The worst thing is that the town of Vienna's government couldn't care less about the fact that Archer needs more space. We live in the town but the town doesn't give a darn about the realities of the crowding at Archer (the town has a say because fights hard against any on the LA site). If anyone is mad about their kid not being in Archer AAP next year, fuss at the town as well as at FCPS.[/quote]
