[quote=Anonymous][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.

There are many schools in FCPS that are on the list for renovations before McLean.

This is true.  McLean was already renovated sometime in the early 2000s.  [/quote]

Not really, not in the same sense as we talk about other schools getting renovated. It was a comparatively minor project and did not bring it on par with other facilities of the same age.[/quote]

Even with adjustments for inflation what FCPS spent to renovate schools built in the 1950s like Annandale and McLean in the early 2000s was a fraction of what they’ve spend on more recent renovations.  If the Langley renovation was a Tesla, the McLean renovation was a Civic.

They will be surprised by how many families end up bailing on McLean after this most recent decision to reassign only single-family areas to Langley. There’s only so long FCPS can keep crapping on a school in different ways before families pick up on it and look elsewhere. People thought Tholen might champion the school since she got a lot more support from McLean neighborhoods than Langley neighborhoods during her campaign, but she’s revealed herself to be one more Great Falls politician putting Langley first.
