[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.

You should zoom out some more and then this folly might appear more defensible.

However, [b]anyone who looks at the CIP [/b]will see Dunn Loring is surrounded by multiple existing schools projected to be under-enrolled for years to come.

The growth is further north and east, and that’s where any new school should be built.  Otherwise, any short-term savings by building at Dunn Loring will be outweighed by higher transportation costs over the long run.

Also, let the Board of Supervisors know that all their talk about making Tysons a livable community has been thrown out the window because you’ve effectively decided kids should get bussed to some random elementary school in Vienna instead.

People wrote the School Board to point out this school should not be built in Dunn Loring.  You and your incompetent colleagues ignored them.  You’re a dope and, even if you beat Sabio, we won’t stop pointing out that you’re created a mess, all because you wanted to save a dog park. And by the time the shit really hits the fan, you will have bailed for some other position and left others to clean up the mess. [/quote]

[b]Reopen the Dunn Loring Administrative Center as an elementary school to accommodate projected growth in the surrounding schools (Freedom 
Hill ES, Shrevewood ES, Stenwood ES in the Marshall HS Pyramid).[/b]

You know who wasn't on the School Board in 2014?  Karl Frisch.

2019 CIP - Shrevewood 127%, Stenwood 101%, Freedom Hill 94% for 22-23 (https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/Adopted%20FY%202019-23%20CIP_0.pdf)
2020 CIP - 125%, 95%, 75% for 2023-24  https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/amended-FY2020-24-CIP.pdf
2021 CIP - 120%, 97%, 77% for 2024-25  https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/Adopted-CIP-FY2021-25.pdf [color=red](this is the latest projected data that the School Board had when making the decision to repurpose the funds for Dunn Loring Elementary in January 2021)[/color]
2022 CIP - no estimates due to COVID
2023 CIP - 92%, 92%, 64% for 2026-27  https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/Adopted-FY2023-27-CIP.pdf

The CIP is a massive moving target.  The estimates have not stabilized since COVID and I do not trust the numbers being as low as they are now.  Would I delay Dunn Loring?  Maybe.  Was Dunn Loring a bad idea?  Not even a little bit.

+1. In the next ten years we’ll need that school.[/quote]
