[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Centreville and Chantilly should be expanded. Oakton would already be seriously overcrowded even with its big renovation and expansion had Fox Mill not moved to South Lakes.[/quote]

Chantilly has little space for additional building.

If it has space for over a dozen trailers, it has space for an expansion that would replace them.  And they expanded both Justice and Madison, which have less acreage than Chantilly, to 2500 full-time seats.

[/quote]Just bring in a modular, like they did with McLean. No need for an expensive expansion. [/quote]

Chantilly has a 14 classroom modular--bigger than McLean's.
Chantilly has 9 temporary classrooms--more than McLean.[/quote]

If there was space for a 14-classroom modular and nine trailers, then shouldn't they be able to build an addition there at some point?

Moving almost 700 Chantilly kids to Western is going to provide relief, but I don't know why they wouldn't expand Chantilly in due course to 2500 seats, when they expanded Oakton and Herndon to accommodate even more kids.

But for the 2021 boundary change with Langley, McLean would have somewhere between 2500 and 2600 kids this year, yet it has hundreds fewer permanent seats than Chantilly, much less schools like Oakton and Herndon.

FCPS has been very unpredictable in its allocation of capital resources.  If anything, it seems to want to penalize successful schools like Chantilly and McLean.   [/quote]

And maybe they will now that they will be able to get rid of the modulars - but they certainly had nowhere to expand with the modulars in place.[/quote]
