[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mount Vernon needs around 450 more students. The situation there is dire. Adding @ 450 seats to the adjacent school will put MV in even worse of a situation. Who is supporting the WestPo expansion and why? I haven’t seen anyone get behind it much less make the case for it. [/quote]

You haven't heard much about it because the School Board has discussed it as little as possible. To the extent it's gotten any attention, it's because a few members of the Board of Supervisors basically threw up in public when they heard about it.

The beneficiaries are cronies of two people:  Karen Corbett Sanders (whose friends won't have to worry about icky Mount Vernon) and Jeff Platenberg (whose buddies in the construction industry will get a contract to add hundreds of unnecessary seats to a school that doesn't need them).

It is borderline, if not outright, corrupt - not to mention completely at odds with the intent of "One Fairfax" - and there should be an audit/investigation. [/quote]
