[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do the Republicans think about the need for overcrowding relief at McLean HS? All you need to do is check their votes.

"I move to amend the FY2020-2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) by [b]including Langley and McLean High Schools on the list of Priority Recommended Boundary Adjustments[/b], as noted on page 46 of the CIP.

Motion by Jane K Strauss, second by Ryan McElveen.
Final Resolution: Motion Carries
Yes: Jane K Strauss, Patricia Hynes, Karen A Keys-Gamarra, Karen Corbett Sanders - Chair, Tamara D Kaufax - Vice Chair, Megan McLaughlin, Ryan McElveen, Sandra S Evans, Ilryong Moon
[b]No: Tom Wilson
Abstain: Elizabeth Schultz[/b]"

I read the Washington Post article PP have quoted.  The comments are better than the article with McLaughlin -D-Braddock participating.  Why did those 2 not vote yes?   They knew it would pass and why it was an agenda item. Excuse me but for how many CIP's did staff recommend a boundary change ? 2 or 3.  It made p 46 because of the election not an endeavor for resource stewardship.  D's don't want to lose Dranesville and want to keep the 3 at large seats.  It's protection for Keys Gamarra who would not have voted yes in Jan 2019.

The at large members and any with resource stewardship as a priority should have had unfriendly amendments to cancel the West Potomac addition.  McLaughlin WP comments are prattle about capacity needs for growth in Tysons and the route 1 corridor.  How stupid do they think we are?  Does McLaughlin want to take one for the team?   I can't vote for or against her but reading her comments on the WP just made us decide to vote at large R.

Storck and Mckay said it wasn't needed - perception of schools has impacted boundary changes. What's open utilization at Lee and Mount Vernon?  The word is massive.
