[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]FCPS is making the same mistake with Oakton as it did with Langley- expanding capacity for students who should be assigned to other schools.[b] Oakton is near Madison and Langley[/b] near Mclean.[/quote]

Are you the same person who said that Great Falls was the most far west part of Fairfax County?  I'll grant that Oakton is near Madison--but it is nowhere near Langley. [/quote]

Not PP, but can you please take a second to read before you post?

PP is saying Oakton is near Madison (it is) and Langley is near McLean (it is), and that they need to stop building big additions at schools that already have kids who live closer to other schools traveling long distances to attend (as is the case at both Oakton and Langley).

You can agree or disagree with the comment, but PP was not saying Oakton is near Langley.  [/quote]

Apologize.  You're right.  I didn't read carefully.

But, it is also true that there are many, many schools in this situation.  Franklin Middle and Rachel Carson are just over one mile apart.  I guess property is just not always available.  Ironic that Chantilly has one of the most compact boundaries, and it is the most overcrowded.  And, I think that is one reason that the overcrowding is tolerated--people don't want to leave because there is a community feel--and is quite diverse.[/quote]

Give your Hutchison plan a rest.  It is three miles from Herndon High School.  Once more, this is not about getting Great Falls into Herndon.  It is about giving relief to Chantilly and Centreville.[/quote]

No one posting on this thread came up with the “Hutchison plan.”  That seems to be the plan of the county and FCPS.

If the only concern was relief for Chantilly and Centreville, I don’t know why they wouldn’t just turn Carson, which is closer to those schools and has more acreage than quite a few high schools, into a secondary school.  But they aren’t, and it seems like maybe they are thinking about the anticipated growth along the Silver Line if they build there.  And, if they do, there will be some significant boundary changes, which is what Strauss was telling Langley and got them so riled up. [/quote]
