[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you are angry at the county and want to save the park, please attend the meeting at Mosby Woods Elementary at 7.p.m on Wed, Jan 16th. If it gets cancelled due to snow, please keep informed and write letters!  I am also insulted about the faux outrage comment over loss of green space. My half-Hispanic children are grown and out of the school system, but I still want to save the park.[/quote]

Thank you. I will try to make it although can't if it is this Wednesday. Maybe ai will write first. Do you have any information on the meeting?[/quote]

Here is the link.  There are still a lot of questions to be answered.  Come out and be heard.

This is very interesting.

1. The link doesn't mention Providence ES at all.

2. Instead it says about South Lakes High. Below is the text.

Why do we need a new school in the area?

The elementary schools in the Oakton High School pyramid do not have room for all the students who reside in the pyramid. Currently, more than 200 students from the Oakton HS pyramid attend schools in the South Lakes High School pyramid.

Our goal is to allow the Oakton HS pyramid cohorts to stay together throughout their entire educational careers.

In addition, the South Lakes HS pyramid will be affected by new development associated with the Silver Line Metro, and FCPS needs to ensure that these new students have space to be educated.

3. What does it mean by 200 students in the OHS pyramid that go to South Lakes?  My guess is a few kids in Crossfield ES. Or maybe even Fox Mill ES?

4. It also says South Lakes high will be impacted by the silverline, implying that some kids will be moving to OHS.

5. If some students are indeed moving (back) to OHS and they build a new school, how can OHS handle all these additional students?  It's already over capacity.

6. I know OHS is renovating. So can it take more students?  Or maybe the new school and/or MWES will be feeding to Fairfax High?  Does Fairfax High have capacity?  The title does say Oakton/Fairfax.
