[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they could send the Reston kids near Herndon out of South Lakes.  Then, put more in South Lakes.  But, that still does not solve long commute to Oakton, or overcrowding at Chantilly and Westfield.

Westfield was under capacity last year.  The last CIP also projected it will lose kids over the next five years.

There are schools that are actually overcrowded like Chantilly, and then there are schools that some of you claim are overcrowded but are not. [/quote]

Westfield has over 2700 and new construction.  It really does not have the space you think it does.  And, when it was expanded, it did not expand things like the cafeteria, etc.  Have you ever been in their gym?[/quote]

Yes, I’ve been in the Westfield gym.  It’s very big compared to most FCPS gyms.  Overall, Westfield has a utilitarian look, but it has a lot of space and a large capacity.

There are other schools in the county that are as drab as Westfield but have less space and a lower capacity, so it’s not clear why we’re going to spend all this money on KAA because you don’t want to attend Westfield (or for that matter South Lakes or Herndon).

There should have been a more robust process before FCPS bought KAA, as illustrated by the fact that the deal has closed yet they haven’t figured out what to do with the building. It seems obvious that if the overcrowding was really as acute as you are claiming there would be no debate about the building’s future use. It would be a settled question.[/quote]

Did they expand the gym?   I haven't been there in a few years, but i was shocked at how small it was compared to the other gyms.  Herndon used to have a small gym, but I think they expanded it?[/quote]

Yes. The Herndon gym was expanded. It fits three volleyball practice courts now, and has bleachers on all four sides. [/quote]
