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

We are going in circles.  The FCPS projections show that Langley will be at 96% capacity by 2026-27.  By comparision, Marshall is projected to be at 92% (or 98% excluding the modular addition) and Madison is projected to be at 82%.  The capacity metric doesn't support the argument.[/quote]

FACTS do not compute to the PP.  It's all about what she *wants.*  [/quote]

Other posts have already responded to this, including by sharing the FCPS data on projected student yields from new housing developments that are not yet incorporated in the enrollment projections to which PP referred. [/quote]
