[quote=Anonymous]Tholen had 4 years to do at least one of the following:

* get the CIP adjusted to fund an addition to McLean outside the queue (as has happened before at each of South Lakes, West Potomac, Justice, and Madison);

* get an updated renovation queue prepared and released by now; or

* publicly call out her colleagues and/or FCPS staff for failure to do either of the above, to at least call attention to the situation.

Instead we got a one-sided boundary change w/Langley that cherry-picked single-family neighborhoods and left McLean and Marshall on the hook for all the upside growth associated with Tysons development, along with a second-hand modular relocated from another school. Oh, and a promise that the decrepit bathrooms would be upgraded this past summer, although that’s been delayed, too.

It’s hard to tell whether Tholen was just ineffective, or whether she deliberately let McLean crumble while tens of millions get spent elsewhere, but she won’t be missed. [/quote]
