[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The facility is a bargain.  Renovations can be quick because the school will not be in use--as in the other schools being renovated.

This is fiscally a very good solution.[/quote]

Well, if it is as you claim it to be, why shroud the whole process in secrecy?[/quote]

Yes, when you negotiate to purchase a house, I'm sure you put out all the details ahead of time.

Remember, it was just a very few months ago that KAA announced its closure. And, speaking of secrecy, suggest you look at how the county gave it to KAA to begin with.

It was done before anyone in the community knew about it.  Prior to that, it was the site of the Western High school.[/quote]

If there was actually any competing bidder for the KAA property/school, surely they would have known FCPS was potentially interested from the time KAA announced it was going out of business.  Just look at when this thread started.

It's a stretch to say FCPS gained any negotiating advantage by keeping this under wraps.  It just didn't want to raise false hopes among area residents or invite questions earlier than it is inviting now as to how this acquisition affects the ongoing boundary review and other capital projects.  They have a hell of a lot to try and work out, but now they've put it off until the summer where they can reduce the scrutiny.  [/quote]
