[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was happy to hear Reid and a few board members finally mention the 1700-1800 seats from the western schools that are trailers/modulars in their reasoning for why this school is needed.  The people who keep posting how the area is "only 600 over capacity" constantly ignore all the trailers.  It was nice to hear the board acknowledge that the goal is for everyone to be able to go to school in a real building and not a temporary trailer.[/quote]

Modulars are not trailers, and FCPS capacity planning has taken modular seats into account for many years.

They can't ignore modular seats in one part of the county when it's convenient, and take them into account everywhere else.  If they want to ignore modular seats they need to completely revamp both the CIP and the ongoing county-wide boundary study.  They are treating 105% capacity as the trigger for boundary changes and that 105% includes modular seats.

The best they can do is reiterate that the opportunity arose to buy KAA, they were willing to defer other renovation projects because they thought they were getting a bargain purchase, and say permanent seats are preferable to seats in trailers or modulars.  Beyond that they are talking out of both sides of their mouths. [/quote]
As one board member said, "trailers are trailers, whether or not they have plumbing"[/quote]

LOL.  So what's their plan to handle Kilmer MS, at 158% capacity if you treat the modular there as a trailer?

If they really believe that overcrowding at Kilmer should have been their top priority, not overcrowding at Chantilly.  [/quote]
