[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the school board spending $ to renovate and expand capacity at West Springfield when Lee (which was recently renovated) is majorly under capacity?

That is poor stewardship of taxpayer dollars. Students from West Springfield should have been moved to Lee instead.[/quote]

Similar question about why Langley is undergoing renovation, when Falls Church HS is legitimately falling apart and growing? I get that plans were made a while back to renovate Langley, but there has got to be a better way to adjust when needed. [/quote]

I'm glad they are adding capacity to schools when they are renovated. Otherwise we'd be in the same pickle as APS, which actually replaced several existing schools with new schools with less capacity, right before there was an enrollment spike.  Having more capacity at Langley, for example, will allow FCPS to handle future growth in Tysons (currently zoned for Marshall and McLean).

Falls Church is on the renovation queue and presumably may be expanded as well when it is renovated. In hindsight, it would be better if the expansion at Marshall had been larger, McLean got an addition, and Falls Church was scheduled for renovation sooner, but at least there will be seats.[/quote]
