[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They could repair a lot of the damage they've done with parents if they started to pay more attention to facilities, but they never do, and Jeff Platenberg has already signaled that the next Capital Improvement Program will be another big nothingburger.

These people, whether at Gatehouse or on the School Board. can't be relieved of their responsibilities soon enough. [/quote]

How, I’m sure they could upgrade your school and make you happy, but that means not upgrading another school[/quote]

Or maybe not expanding a school to 3000 seats when a nearby school is under-enrolled, or only spending $100M on a school renovation rather than $140M...[/quote]

I am *so* excited for the FCHS renovation - having haters say it is undeserved and poor kids should make do with less makes it even more satisfying. My kids got an amazing education and terrific community there, my house was cheap and a great commute into the city, and now my property value will go up with the renovation just as I am getting ready to retire and move.

Spending over $140M to renovate FCHS or any other single school when they spent less than a fraction of that on prior “renovations” is BS.  And then they blame others for their having such a long renovation cycle.

Maybe you think there is no limit on how much should get spent on schools with more poor kids but they need to spread out the money more widely. Both Arlington and Loudoun put FCPS to shame when it comes to maintaining their facilities. [/quote]
