[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your school have an extreme mold issue? Watch NBC 4 news at 5:30 tonight for a story on one of the largest FCPS schools![/quote]

How can they justify spending over $150M on King Abdullah Academy if they have unremediated mold issues at their current schools?  [/quote]

What are you talking about?[/quote]

Can you not read?  Remediating mold at existing schools ought to be a higher priority than buying a new one.  [/quote]

Obviously. But what is King Abdullah Academy?[/quote]

On June 12 the FCPS Board approved purchase of a private academy that was shutting down operations: https://www.ffxnow.com/2025/06/16/fcps-surprises-with-purchase-of-discontinuing-herndon-private-school/[/quote]

They could take care of a lot of mold for the $150 million (and that's just the initial purchase price) they are planning to spend on this building.

They don't care if teachers and kids get sick in other, neglected buildings so long as they have a photo op in another year or two.

Shame on them. [/quote]

Read Reid's message today.  They are willing to forego $160 million in federal funds to fall on their trans sword.  Seems to me this building is a great deal.  We'll have something to show for the money rather than spending it on legal fees.[/quote]

Wait, if they are going to forego all this federal funding and incur legal expenses to fight the Trump Administration, won't that require belt-tightening?  Isn't that all the more reason not to spend over $150 million on a building that may not be fit for use as a public HS without some major changes?  I read a post by a former KAA teacher familiar with the building who said it can't currently accommodate a lot of HS kids.

Whether it's $160 million in lost federal funds or $150 million on a questionable purchase, FCPS lets opportunity after opportunity slip to get its current portfolio of properties in good condition.  [/quote]
