[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a new school that will handle 1,300 kids tops without renovation, that could be used as a magnet, no one really cares about FARMs rates as they will drop as people migrate to “safer” places.

Changes to grandfather policy is the first step backward from pausing comprehensive boundary study.   Maybe a tweak or two around split feeders is all that will happen.

A whole county worked up for months over essentially nothing.  [/quote]

Try to keep up. We've already established it’s the same sq footage as Centreville HS, which has over 2000 students. Absolutely no way will this school be boundaried for anything close to 1300.[/quote]

Apply your limited mental capacity.  School was built as a private school with smaller class sizes in mind and more open spaces.  Doubt FCPS will schedule classes in hallways and courtyards.

Some 2,500 square foot homes appear quite spacious, others are cramped all in the design.  [/quote]

They have two additional buildings that could be used, if needed.  
The school has three gyms.  Certainly, that could be adapted for classes.  
Schools require storerooms, supply rooms, etc.  Those could easily be put in the buildings across the street.
There is staff at schools that do not work with kids.  They could be housed in one of the external buildings.
The theater could be used for classes, as well.

Think outside the box.  Because of the additional buildings, modulars should not be needed.  I rode over there the other day.  The only thing on that  street is the school and the two buildings.  The rest is parkland.

Why do people not want this school?  It solves longterm problems for FCPS.
