[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I will vote yes when I finally see any movement on McLean HS getting a renovation.[/quote]

Not voting for other kids to get a renovation because your kids aren't is a very McLean parent attitude.[/quote]

Knee jerk stupidity. Look into how overdue MHS is for a renovation, how crowded it is, and how the county keeps green lighting development that will add to school crowding before you issue another thoughtless and uninformed statement like that.[/quote]

Lol. They kind of have a point though. Just because you're not getting a renovation means you're going to vote against other people getting renovations? There is nothing we can do about that. I would love for my kid's school to get a renovation, but that doesn't mean I'm going to vote against these other schools.[/quote]

See how you feel after voting yes on the bond for over 20 years and still not seeing your school which is in need make the cut.[/quote]

There are lots of schools in need.[/quote]

Clifton ES was in need but FCPS decided to close it despite having a whole comunity clamoring to keep the school open. We NEVER FORGET [/quote]

Ridiculous. Clifton needed big repairs but was not in a site that could fit a larger school to serve more kids. We didn’t need to spend a lot of money to serve so few kids. That was one of the good decisions of the board.[/quote]

Strongly disagree with ya. Money was there to do the repairs but Clifton was closed for political reasons. [/quote]

Yes.  Can't recall the details, but wasn't it something to do with an exchange for West Springfield by Bradsher? Behind the curtain?[/quote]

Yes - Bradsher supposedly cut a deal with FCPS staff that West Springfield’s renovation would be accelerated if Clifton was closed.

She wasn’t in the West Springfield district so it wasn’t blatant favoritism towards her own community of the Kathy Smith/Elaine Tholen variety, but it still left Clifton feeling like they’d been thrown under a bus. [/quote]

Bradsher was Springfield district.  Was West Springfield not in her district?  [/quote]

Yeah, but she lived in the South County area.  [/quote]
