[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every four years there are DCUM posters who say they’ll vote against bonds, including some who claim to be at MHS (and maybe they are, but it also can be a pretext for others not at the school to take a jab at MHS by reiterating the facilities issues there).

But school bonds always pass, or at least they have for decades.  More recently, they’ve passed by at least 2-1 margins:

2021: 300K (Y), 130K (N)

2019:  226K (Y), 67K (N)

2017:  262K (Y), 95K (N)

2015:  136K (Y), 50K (N)

2013:  216K (Y), 77K (N)

2011:  134K (Y), 58K (N)

Realistically it’s tilting at windmills to suggest Fairfax residents will vote down a school bond.  Those of us at McLean who want to see the school get funded fairly have to find other levers to pull.  [/quote]

Yes. And as long as this continues the Board will have no reason to stop spending money in bad ways. They know these bond will always pass. And the taxpayers are on the hook. I will escape in the next few years.[/quote]
