[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think WSHS was limited by space. I’m not sure they could have expanded on their land.

The renovation was basic. There wasn’t too much change but definitely updates in tech and a safe environment.

The bottom line is WSHS has always been a popular school, especially in the transient military population and doing the renovation only increased the popularity. [/quote]

True.

The classroom renovations were pretty basic, and did not expand the school footprint.  The indoor athletic rooms are where the extravagance occurred.

Whether fcps added 4 classrooms to the building or 10 classes to the building, the additional classes were going on that upper floor because the footprint was not changing. They went up, not out.

Is that person arguing  that fcps should have only added a 1/3 of a floor when they renovated the school instead of a full floor?

Because that is basically what they did.

It was a sound fisc and policy decision tk expand the high schools when they go through a full renovation.

As someone said above, the renovations are on roughly 50 year cycles, with no way to predict enrollment over that time.

It simply is good policy to expand the high schools where practical when the high schools hit their 50 year full renovations.

Lewis should also be expanded when it gets its full gut renovation.  It is the smart thing for fcps to do with taxpayer money.[/quote]
