[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCCPS parent here, not a staff person....don't understand all the agonizing over parking at the secondary schools and complaints about construction. Maybe some of you never saw the HS building before? it was horrendous. We needed a new school; development of the adjacent land was absolutely necessary to pay for the new school. We have to live with the inconvenience for a few years (for example, I personally hate having to turn right every time I leave campus, but just suck it up and do it...)

All this complaining - what is your proposed solution? [/quote]

My solution would have been for those in positions of power to have constructed a building that’s a school first rather than a vanity piece for the superintendent and to have anticipated actual needs so that a) there wasn’t a parking shortage in the first place b) there wasn’t ongoing major construction encroaching on and eating up the limited space that is there. I’d have constructed a building where certain teachers don’t have to essentially abandon their classrooms Friday afternoons because we don’t want the community groups using them on the weekends to feel like they can’t make themselves at home.

But then the whole complex is form over function, which is why everything breaks constantly, which shouldn’t be an issue in a brand new, EXPENSIVE space. If we wanted a broken-down unusable heap of a building we could have saved 7-8 figures and just stayed in the old space.[/quote]
