[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]

Honestly. Do you want schools that big? I know of some huge 5,000 kid schools that existed not that long before my high school years. Think of trying to make teams or get leadership opportunities with that many kids competing for them. Be careful what you wish for.

I bet even an expansion won’t satisfy McLean Mom.[/quote]

In case you haven’t noticed, there are a number of us explaining why an addition is needed.  If you want to know if that will satisfy some of us, build the addition and then we can find out.

Until then, threads suggesting that we “zip it” because they’re doing some basic maintenance over the summer that won’t add any seats will be met with the response you already know to expect.  [/quote]
