[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

The BOS was placed in a political dilemma and sold the Carson site--which was the logical site to give relief to Centreville and Chantilly--to the Saudi's.  There was not any neighborhood input.  It was a done deal.  The BOS was put into a bind because the initial location for the Saudi school met great protest from the initial place--I think it was Burke.  So, undercover, they gave it to the Saudis and said there wasn't enough space for a new high school--which is not true.  There was way more than enough space.

The Hutchison site is only accessible from one artery.  It is also close to adjacent to the new Innovation Station metro.  It is a terrible site for a new high school.  It would not be centrally located at all.  All the traffic would be coming from one direction --the current high school boundaries surrounding it are Westfield, Herndon, and South Lakes.  It is an illogical location for relief of the overcrowded schools.[/quote]

Maybe imminent domain be used to take homes in Chantilly / Centreville and make room for a new HS. Problem solved.[/quote]
