[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't watch the whole meeting last night.  Did catch a little of Hynes talking about moving kids form McLean to Langley should be obvious or something like that.  Funny, that's not what she was singing earlier.  They are really trying to get this CIP amendment done now, when it won't make adjustments come any sooner than if they waited until they do the next CIP.  Pretty obvious that Strauss is trying to save her reputation and the Dem SB nominee from Dranesville.[/quote]

It’s September and the next CIP won’t get approved until any earlier than mid-January 2020.

If this means FCPS staff starts working on a boundary study 3-6 months earlier than otherwise might be the case, I do not understand why anyone familiar with the facts would object.

Schultz and Wilson were absolutely trying to kill the amendment simply because they think it will benefit Democratic candidates this fall.  So much for doing what’s best for the kids.  [b]That will absolutely backfire on the Republican at-large and Dranesville candidates.[/b]  Wilson, in particular, revealed his ignorance by suggesting that Oakton should be receiving more attention than McLean when Oakton is currently in the midst of a giant, multi-year renovation and expansion.

Megan McLaughlin made a lot of sense when she actually engaged Jeff Platenberg to speak to the benefits of directing staff resources to addressing the McLean overcrowding sooner rather than later.  He pointed out that McLean was projected to be the most overcrowded high school in the county by 2023 and that McLean was “unique” among the overcrowded high schools in having no solution yet identified by FCPS to address that overcrowding.

Back fire on the Republican candidate?  Karloutsos is backfiring on herself.  IB for Langley and a magnet program?  Can't fill it with Mclean and if you want more FARMS add in Forest Edge? Buford is another IB for Langley.   FCPS IB stats v cost per pupil are dismal.  Ardavan Mobeshari moved here from NJ and was thrown by no in perpetuity on an attendance area.  In 5 years there could be a CIP/comprehensive plan resurrecting the North Reston HS.  That thing could be an alternative build to west county. Also suggest IB for Herndon.

Meanwhile on 9/12/19 Tholen said move Mclean into the place and One Fairfax shouldn't not be in effect based on income.  Also best informed and interested on school sites and potential sites.  Flexible and not dogmatic. It takes a lot for the BOS to materially alter the FCPS bond referendum and they did for "Blake Lane Park" and Tholen is the only one who even bothered to inform themselves on the issue.
