[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Word on the street is there are several high level people at gatehouse that have major
concerns about the KAA site and it’s feasibility to fulfill the needs of an FCPS HS.  Lack of outdoor space and a need to expand the indoor space are major issues that will cost lots of money and time to address.  If it becomes a standard HS they will need a couple years to get it ready.[/quote]

Get with the program. Families hoping to benefit from the new school have told us taxpayers that we’re not allowed to question the school’s costs, and they remind you that we are not owed any accountability from Sniveling Sandy’s school board. They demand no oversight on the $150mm purchase.

How dare you!!![/quote]

Check out the FY26 -30 CIP.

$23,500 million for site acquisition--already funded
almost $500 million for building

Centreville expansion/renovation: almost $300 million

Here are answers to questions if you look at the information with a common sense lens:

So, for $150 million, FCPS gets extensive land, an already built school and two additional buildings.  It is in the location where it is needed.  And, it comes furnished.  
Sure, some adjustments will be needed, but it is a "deal" and you know it.

High school renovation for Falls Church is 123 million.  And, they did not need to purchase land.  Doubt it includes furnishings.

yes land was funded. not building. so where are they getting the other 125 million? no expansion at centreville? the SB should be saying what will be deferred with this purchase [/quote]
