[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tholen's response on mcspaces to timeframe:

"2) What would you consider a realistic time-frame to provide overcrowding relief?

As much as I would like to see immediate relief of this problem, realistically the community
input process for boundary changes takes time and any type of construction project will take
years for the procurement of the funds for planning and construction plus the multi-year
construction time. I would hope we could finalize boundary changes for the 2020-2021 school
year by starting that process immediately. The community input process will determine how the
boundary change may be phased in for those students already started at McLean, etc.
Construction of an addition to the school needs to take place but if it goes through the usual bond
and planning process, a completed addition is 7 years out. I will do my best to look for
expedited ways to do this but realize within the overall county framework of needs, that may be
difficult."

Doesn't sound as firm as her other response.  No creative suggestions at all.[/quote]

Langley/McLean don't need "creative suggestions" that are impractical or wasteful, like Karloutsos's suggestion to add IB and Academy programs at Langley and then encourage McLean kids to flee for Langley.

They just need a standard boundary change, executed promptly after community input.   [/quote]

+1000.  They should also start planning for an addition at McLean.[/quote]
