[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The renovations will be pretty minimal. [/quote] The price tag will only continue to go up. Recall that with the Dunn Loring project it was originally pitched as a renovation of an existing, historic building. Some only supported it on that basis. Then, once FCPS did a real analysis, they concluded they should tear the building down and construct an entirely new school. The projected costs skyrocketed and continue to increase. I'm not saying anyone will conclude KAA needs to be torn down, but the School Board has a habit of approving projects before it really understands the costs, and the costs are always higher than initially advertised. The KAA could be a turnkey building for another K-12 private school. It won't be a turnkey building for a public high school. [/quote]
