[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this work? The schools all technically belong to FCPS.  Would the city of McLean have to purchase the schools from FCPS?  What would happen to the students who go to McLean HS who live in Falls Church ir Vienna?  [/quote]

The schools could be ceded to the City of McLean. They are tax exempt properties so they don’t generate tax revenue for the county, and the county would be relieved of its future obligations with respect to their maintenance and upkeep.

As to the latter question, the boundaries of the City of McLean wouldn’t necessarily align with the current two zip codes in unincorporated Fairfax County with McLean mailing addresses. In theory, they could encompass other areas currently zoned for McLean HS and Langley HS and/or exclude parts of McLean/22102 zoned to Marshall HS.  [/quote]

Thanks for the explanation. Just adding, are you saying they are considered McLean addresses just for school district boundary purposes? I live in 22182 Vienna, my mailing address is Vienna, and my kids are in boundary for McLean High. [/quote]

It’s all speculative, but if a City of McLean were actually created, and the city limits were drawn to encompass most or all of the areas currently assigned to Langley HS or McLean HS, you might end up within its boundaries with a new mailing address in McLean rather than Vienna and a different zip code.
