[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just in McLean this week dropping off paperwork. Buckets lining the halls, ceiling tiles remived as water dripped into the buckets. A small crane was outside the main entrance. It appeared that roof work was being done on one gym ceiling. But the buckets were in the hallways( not the gym).[/quote]

It was raining all week so makes sense. Don’t the summer renovations include a new roof for the whole school? A new roof should last a couple decades. But will the community be able to accept trailers for the next few decades? I don’t know. 10 to 15 years sounds reasonable, but beyond that seems excessive.

Eventually, although we may have to wait 20-30 years, the school should just be demolished and rebuilt. That’s how they do it in Montgomery County, Arlington, and practically every other district in the country. It’s the least complicated and least expensive option.

(No FCPS high schools are historic, and would warrant preservation, except the original Mount Vernon and Fairfax High Schools, but those have/will take on other uses. The original, historic Falls Church HS was demolished 20 years ago.)[/quote]
