[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people writing here that a western Hs been promised for years, what schools has it been promised for? I see people posting of who might move where but is there a starting premise of why:for whom western high school is needed? That’s still unclear to me even reading through these threads. [/quote]

The area near the site of the KAA was moved from Oakton to Westfield when Westfield opened in 2000, and then part of Floris got moved from Westfield to South Lakes in 2008.

People complained about getting redistricted so frequently and promises were made that the Oak Hill/Floris area would one day get its own school.  The annual Capital Improvement Programs then began referring every year to a future western HS.

But then the most logical site got transferred to the Saudis and FCPS started expanding schools to add capacity.  That made a new western HS seem increasingly unlikely but they never took it out of their annual CIPs. They just kept bumping the date out further.

Now the site has not only become available again, but it’s become available with an already constructed school on the premises. That’s why they are saying it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. [/quote]
