[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ops guys presentation that claimed 30-50M was based on significantly redoing the building - including eliminating some of the open space.  It's the only way to get anywhere near 2000 students out of a building that supported 1200.  AFAIK, what's never been presented are what any sane process would have started with - given a range of capacities what's the cost to reach each capacity in dollars and change to the building's current features.  Instead, FCPS has been publicly advertising they'll support 2000 students in the current wonderful, open, ... building is as if it's possible to keep them all.[/quote]

When KAA ran the place it wasn't at capacity at 1200.  That was just as many kids as they could get to sign up.  It had been higher in years past. The school couldn't get enough students which is why it wasn't profitable and they had to shut down.  FCPS has said they could get 2200 in there if they utilize the two detached buildings, which it looks like they will be because those are the areas scheduled for renovation first.  I don't have the link handy, but they talked about it more recently than the 30-50M swag meeting.  This time they broke it down a little further and it was within the initial range, plus they specified 18M for athletic field improvements.[/quote]
