[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Dunn Loring School was just approved and is now good to go. The architects will remove and preserve the historic entryway pediment and portal, to be showcased in an interpretative exhibit enshrined within a two story atrium in the new school.

This is pretty crazy because half the School Board members (Lady, McDaniel, Dunne, Moon, R. Anderson, and Dixit) raised concerns at a work session on the Capital Improvement Program this week as to whether this school is even needed (Frisch wasn't at the work session).  It's surrounded entirely by elementary schools that FCPS is projecting will be under capacity five years from now.

You can tell that the folks trying to sell this school are engaging in some creative double-speak:  "Commissioners suggested the efforts by FCPS were adequate, and acknowledged a real need to create additional student capacity in the county’s Dunn Loring/Vienna/Falls Church areas."  "Dunn Loring/Vienna/Falls Church" is a bunch of different areas, and the actual growth is miles away in Tysons.

If this school gets a green light, and they end up with a capacity glut due to building a school for which there is no need, the Board of Supervisors needs to start limiting the transfer to FCPS and taxpayers should start voting down bond referenda.  [/quote]
