[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean HS is a mess -capacity wise- current enrollment 2368- capacity 1993. Don't the McLean parents have any pull-compared to GF?[/quote]

Apparently not, or at least not with Elaine Tholen (a Great Falls resident and parent of a Langley graduate).  She pushed through a limited boundary change that placed Great Falls' interests ahead of meaningful action to relieve the overcrowding at McLean.  And now she's doing next to nothing to get funding for the overdue addition at the school.

And, yes, there were some Colvin Run parents (generally those with younger kids without siblings already at Longfellow or McLean) who said they welcomed the move.  FCPS/Tholen created a dynamic where people were encouraged to bid against each other to escape the overcrowded ship.  Some obliged.  This is how FCPS finds a way to trash schools.  [/quote]

Wait someone said McLean kicked some neighbors out, now I’m hearing people were competing to be the section that escaped.  Which is it?[/quote]
