Someone finally realized all these projects need to be combined into one comprehensive effort.[/quote]

I think they are going ahead with it.

Looks like they are bowing to Great Falls on Western school.  Very sad.[/quote]

With the cancellation of next week’s programming vote, you might be right [/quote]

What is going on with GF and the new HS?[/quote]

There have long been people in Great Falls who've tried to throw roadblocks in the way of a new, traditional HS in western Fairfax, but it's unlikely that has much to do with the recent delays in moving forward with a decision about the programming for the western HS or the boundaries for the new school.  They've got to work through permitting and construction issues before a new public HS could open, even with only 9th and 10th graders, and the biggest complainers about the potential boundaries for the new school have been people now at Oakton, not people in GF.[/quote]

They could open as is with 9 and 10.  The school was built to hold that many kids and they can certainly adapt.  Just look what they do at the overcrowded schools.

Great Falls thinks these kids are insurance for them.  That has been clear ever since the purchase.[/quote]

i think the problem with opening is they didn’t file the right  permitting (2232?). besides a few vocal great falls residents on next door the rest of the town does not have an opinion either way on the western high school. it does not affect us. [/quote]
+1. So sad that there is one poster here who posts negative posts about great falls at least a dozen times a day, even when it is not relevant.

I think she dated someone from Great falls and got dumped.[/quote]

No other group actively organized against this school.  But, you know that.[/quote]

You mean that non-great falls group that wanted it to be a magnet? That’s literally the only one I know that organized anything. Others just questioned the lack of plan and cost.

But you know that.[/quote]

And, you know who was the base of FairFacts.  They wanted to stop the school.  Period.  A magnet is not the same as a school with boundaries.

But, hopefully, this is not over.[/quote]
I don’t understand what you mean by “base of fairfacts”? I haven’t seen any position from fairfacts matters on the school, but I may have missed it.[/quote]

fair facts matters has not spoken out against the school. the only posts i have seen have asked for transparency on the purchase (what is the plan for the school, what other capital projects are being deferred etc). fcps still doesn’t seem to know the plan months after they purchased it[/quote]

THIS ^^[/quote]

That is speaking out against the school.  And, some of the people who screamed the most on Nextdoor were very much on FairFacts.  One lives two miles from Herndon High School.[/quote]

asking for transparency is talking against the school? i don’t think so. any logical person no matter where the school was purchased would ask questions if FCPS didn’t even announce the purchase for over 2 months after it closed. and now a month after that they still have no idea on programming, boundaries etc. No one is saying the school isn’t needed in that area. But it seemed very impulsive and they didn’t even do the right permitting to get it open for 2026-2027. [/quote]

And can you imagine the outcry from people like the PP had a transaction like this occurred in, say, the Langley/McLean area??  We'd never hear the end of it.  [/quote][b]If they’d followed any FCPS processes, there’d be data centers built there before FCPS ever held a board meeting to consider a purchase.[/quote]

This.

Anyone who has ever purchased a house knows that you do not advertise what you are offering to other people searching for houses--or even which house you are going to make an offer.
[/quote]

ok well then why did FCPS take over 2 months to publicly announce they bought the school?

and then after that say we need to decide if we want to make it a magnet or a traditional school? shouldn’t they have had a plan while buying it? especially if this western HS has been in the CIP for years [/quote]

There are at least 2 other active threads going on about that purchase.

[i]This[/i] thread is about BRAC and rezoning maps.

Take your discussion about the permitting process and the new high school to one of those other threads.
