[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounded like Hutchison is out for Plattenburg- said that a currently owned FCPS property has a surrounding park that gets so much community use for that area- that they would not be able to use that site.

Yep, sounds like they'll look for some vacant commercial building along Route 28 further south and probably retrofit it like Bailey's Upper in Seven Corners.  I'm sure it will be great as long as it keeps Great Falls out of Herndon. [/quote]
Plenty land in Great falls.  The county can build a school there.  Idk why we are looking in these locations where there isn’t enough property.  Just doesn’t make sense.[/quote]

And who is going to go to that? [/quote]

The Bull Run area would make more sense than Great Falls if they actually did build a new school.  I think it's a fiction.  They've all but said Hutchison is DOA and trotting out the idea of retrofitting office buildings seems like a ploy to get people to object in advance. [/quote]

Did you see the meeting- the ball is actually rolling on this...  will it get to the finish line- tbd. It sounds like they have everyone on SB to be in favor of this-although some left some wiggle room. [/quote]

Does this mean that Langley boundary won’t be changed after all?  For many years people on this board have been talking about how the new HS would/should change the Langley and Herndon boundaries. It looks like their hope is going down the drain. [/quote]

If they don't build a high school near Hutchison, it certainly reduces the likelihood that people will be thinking about Herndon or Langley in connection with a new western high school.

The issue that the Langley pyramid is facing relates more to Cooper MS.  The current plan is to only add 45 seats to Cooper during its renovation, which would bring its capacity to 1120 (less than half of Langley's capacity of 2370).  If all the growth in Tysons requires moving additional kids out of the Marshall and McLean pyramids into the Langley pyramid, that could squeeze Cooper and still lead to moving kids out of the Langley pyramid.

From the Great Falls/McLean perspective, they should be unified in pushing hard for more seats at Cooper and an addition at McLean.
