[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You McLean people always want to make everything about yourselves and complain whenever anyone else in the county gets something nice.

But when they proposed the boundary adjustments, all the McLean parents wanted the option that had the fewest amount of changes. Meanwhile, there are other schools like Chantilly and Centreville that are even further over capacity and don't have a school right next to it so far below capacity.[/quote]

Thanks for conflating McLean and Langley again - to you, I guess, we are all the same.  
 
In fact, it was Langley residents from Great Falls who successfully lobbied Elaine Tholen, their neighbor on the School Board to reject an FCPS staff proposal that would have moved more kids from McLean to Langley in favor of one that redistricted fewer kids to Langley.

Centreville is already in the pipeline now for a big expansion - while some might say the planned expansion is too big (to 3000 seats), they are slated for a major renovation and addition, unlike McLean.  Chantilly is in a similar boat as McLean (the overcrowding is worse, but the building is in better shape and there isn't nearly as much future growth projected in the Chantilly catchment area as in the McLean area).  Once the Centreville expansion is finished, it's quite possible they might decide to adjust Centreville/Chantilly/Westfield boundaries.
