[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look on a map, this school is closest to Marshall.  Why wouldn't the obvious answer be to expand Marshall?  I don't understand why this is a hot button issue at all.[/quote]

Because Langley is below capacity, and has consistently been below capacity. Unless there is large-scale planned construction in Langley's boundaries, there should be an evaluation of how to get Langley to capacity before new housing automatically zones to schools at capacity.[/quote]

The anticipated development within the current Langley boundary is miniscule compared to what's projected within the current Marshall boundaries.

To the extent that the poster to whom you responded just asked why Marshall couldn't just be expanded, that's not how things work in FCPS.  Chantilly and McLean have been overcrowded for a decade and haven't been expanded.  FCPS tries to use existing capacity and usually reactive rather than pro-active when it comes to dealing with future growth.  This is as good an opportunity to be slightly pro-active as FCPS has had in years.  [/quote]
