[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time you post in this and the other threads designed to bash all Dem SB members before the election, you just remind me to go vote (for them). So thanks!  Clearly you haven't studied marketing tactics.[/quote]

People have posted some compelling reasons why Dunn Loring ES is a big waste of money, to which Karl and his friends invariably respond with half-truths at best.  If that's what you value in your candidates, go for it.  [/quote]

I value his focus on school security and protection if students and families rights to information, choice of free reading materials, etc. It's not all about Dunn Lorng - every SB member has a facilities issue people harp on, but Frisch has been a solid advocate for student safety and achievement, and responsive to community (at least the times my family has contacted him). [/quote]

BS. No other School Board member, much less one running for re-election, has wasted over $60M in taxpayer money on a completely unnecessary facility.  And he has a terrible reputation when it comes to constituent service - routinely ignoring people in the district. [/quote]

Looks necessary to me given the huge number of residential buildings under development...

And bonus, he found a way to do it cheaper.

+1. That site saved money![/quote]

It doesn’t save money. It’s not needed right now, and certainly not at that location.

If and when a school is needed, it will be at a different site. And if it were to cost more to build at that site, which might or might not be the case, it would only be because the other site is closer to where the residential development is actually occurring.

Frisch is such a putz. [/quote]

Look at the projected numbers AND the new residential buildings under development right now (proposed, approved, and under construction).

There will continue to be TONS of growth around Tysons which already has several schools forecasted to be overcapacity. The proposed and approved #s are on top of those forecasted numbers, which only account for buildings already under construction.

You can't just look at today's numbers - this school will be built for future needs based on the construction of new residential buildings.

The Dunn Loring site is surrounded by under-enrolled elementary schools that are not slated for much growth.  The growth is further north and east.  If one were trying to be pro-active, you’d build at Pimmit Hills or, better yet, at [b]the Tysons site available to FCPS[/b].

By building a school at the wrong site, you make it less likely that funds will be available to build at a preferable site when a school is needed, you will guarantee massive boundary changes at the ES within the Marshall pyramid, and you will consign future generations of kids to unnecessary bus rides through the heart of congested Tysons to attend ES because of your lack of anything approaching common sense.

And, if all the approved construction in Tysons and West Falls Church were to materialize, the overcrowding would continue to be much more acute at the HS level (Marshall/McLean) than at the ES level.  Building an ES that isn’t needed in Vienna surrounded by other under-enrolled ES isn’t going to do anything thing to address that much larger problem. [/quote]

Street address for the bolded?[/quote]
