[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy to demand smaller schools, including a new high school, and then to shrug and say no when the county attempts to fix overcrowding by using the capacity that it already has.

The new high school will probably be built because the demand's there. But FCPS would be crazy to just leave hundreds of empty seats in various high schools while having other schools hundreds of seats over capacity. That's the definition of poor stewarship. So, if we want a new high school, we have to accept a fairly large re-districting. People won't do that, so FCPS is just expanding capacity until people get on board.[/quote]'

No one is demanding smaller schools. People are fighting expansions of schools that have already had multiple expansions. You are also wrong to state that the people fighting expansion are against redistricting. Maybe you are against redistricting. [/quote]

+1.  Most likely a new high school in that area would have lower FARMS than Herndon and higher FARMS than Chantilly or Oakton (i.e., would be similar to Westfield or South Lakes).

It doesn't take much imagination to figure out who might oppose that and then claim that the schools keep getting bigger because everyone else also supposedly opposes redistricting. [/quote]
