[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago voters approved a new elementary school for the Fairfax/Oakton area.  The current school board voted to move these voter approved funds to re-open the Dunn Loring school which is not needed.  This has turned into a $60 million waste of taxpayer dollars.  Until the school board can show that they will be a good steward of taxpayer dollars and follow through on voter approved projects I will be voting "No".   [/quote]

I'm pissed about Blake Lane too, but the bond funds were not earmarked for that school and voting against bonds now does not fix the crowding situation we have.

Worth remembering that every candidate in that board election (and some non-candidates, like Gerry Connolly) came out against the Blake Lane school, and most of those people are no longer on the Board. I'm still mad about it but we're 5 years out from 2019 and being mad hasn't gotten us a new school.[/quote]

I don't understand this issue with Blake Lane. The community was so opposed to the new school. If the school isn't wanted, why would it be built?[/quote]
