[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will they add more seats at Cooper? I know they were already renovating and adding capacity. Can they add even more seats since they will most likely get the Spring Hill and Colvin run kids?[/quote]

Likely, although with Longfellow already having been expanded they really ought to add capacity now to McLean. [/quote]

They may do that by adding a module (2 million dollar or something?) or whatever it is called...onto a field at McLean. The problems though are it counts as square footage (which makes the need for expanding less easy to argue), it is not very secure, sound issues, exposure to elements while walking to cass (with no time to get jacket and umbrella), etc. McLean is not in line yet for renovations so we are talking about something that even with lobbying cannot happen for a number of years.[/quote]

It is better to have a modular than gut McLean’s enrollment and programs.  People don’t realize what a shitty, sub-par school McLean will be if they just move 400 students to Langley, or how quickly Langley will then get overcrowded.

They are building additions outside the scheduled renovation cycle at other high schools, just not McLean.  And that includes at West Potomac, where they absolutely could be moving kids to Mount Vernon first. [/quote]
