[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lady has the biggest school problem in Fairfax County and she has apparently not made a serious effort to fix it.  It is [b]Coates. [/b] I've not heard her mention that much.  But, she found time to meet with Great Falls Citizens.  You know, the group that has opposed KAA from the start.

Coates relief should have had something done this year.  Maybe not a permanent solution, but something should have been done.  What they are doing there is inexcusable.  But, I guess the constituents there do not have much power.[/quote]

Lady is highly idiosyncratic, to put it mildly.

She is not carrying water for Great Falls.  They do not trust her and nothing she can do or say will persuade them her ultimate goal is not to move them to Herndon.

Her views about KAA’s suitability as a traditional high school seemed to be a reaction to her thinking a lot of the facilities were TJ-quality and basically too high-end compared to what she’d seen at Chantilly. She worked at Chantilly a long time and it’s her reference point for just about everything.

In any event, it’s incumbent on Reid and her staff to let people know what the capacity of KAA currently is and how much it might cost to modify the school to accommodate an acceptable number of HS kids.  It’s unclear whether they’ve even done that work since they were so enamored of exploring some type of specialized program within the building that presumably would have served a smaller number of students.

Until that information is public people can keep guessing about which schools will feed there and making statements that may or may not be accurate about how many kids KAA can handle. [/quote]
That's so silly - anything high end will look rough in five years. Give it five years, LADY! LOL.[/quote]
