[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the boundary change that will relieve some of MHS overcrowding, in combination with the modulars, mean that MHS is really unlikely to get a major renovation? Or is that still on the table in the CIP?

MHS is a terrific school and will continue to have lots of involved parents, but this is kind of a kick in the teeth.

Yes, it is really unlikely that MHS will get a major renovation.

And it was never "on the table in the CIP" except in the most generic sense.  In other words, they have no specific plans to spend any money on an addition at McLean, much less a major renovation, at any point over the upcoming 10 years discussed in the CIP.  It is only referenced in the most generic way possible in the CIP ("Capacity enhancement through either a modular or building addition" as a "potential solution") and of course they've now added a cheap $2M modular.

MHS has been a great school in the past, but it simply won't hold its own in the coming years. The stress test is to ask yourself where you would buy if you were looking to buy a home today in NoVa.  For many of us, [b]the McLean district would now be at best our fifth or sixth choice[/b].  The treatment of the school at the hands of FCPS has been abysmal, and some of us hope to slip out before it's too obvious how FCPS screwed the school over. [/quote]
