[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought McLean high school shouldn’t really get an addition because there really isn’t enough parking as is. They can’t expand the area around the school.

They should keep the school the same size and move some more of the kids out to other schools. [/quote]

In neighboring districts, some new schools have an underground parking component, or an at grade parking lot but below the school building, which would be supported by columns. McLean HS can also expand into the adjacent forest. The lost trees could be replanted elsewhere in the county to offset the loss of green space and carbon emissions.

FCPS could easily grow McLean to a capacity of 2750 or so. Tysons area growth will explode over the next 20 years with dense affordable and market rate housing. I don’t think McLean HS can wait until 2050 for its next major renovation/expansion. [/quote]

I'd much rather that FCPS become smart and efficient with their facilities as opposed to building costly larger and larger buildings.[/quote]

There’s nothing especially smart about one of the high schools that will see the most growth from ongoing and nearby development stuck with the fewest permanent seats of any county high school, trailers, and a cheap modular. Cheap maybe, but not smart, and certainly not aligned with the BOS plans for Tysons, West Falls Church, and downtown McLean.

But, again, if you don’t want larger buildings, demand that the School Board kill the Justice addition and Centreville expansion first (unless of course your real agenda is just to keep neglecting McLean).
