[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Madison and West Potomac do not need to be expanded[/quote]

I cannot vote for a school bond to expand West Potomac knowing that Mount Vernon is under-enrolled and the SB hasn't lifted a finger to redistrict or consider whether IB depresses the enrollment at MV.

Madison is overcrowded now but why expand it to 2500 kids or more when FCPS already has plans to expand both South Lakes and Oakton?  I guess to take kids from Marshall so Marshall can become more Tysons-centric?  [/quote]

Marshall just finished a massive renovation and expansion and is already overcrowded. There is a modular in the back parking lot they just added. [/quote]

This! All the schools that my DC attend in the Marshall pyramid are busting at the seams, and it is the only pyramid in FCPS to be projected to be at 120% capacity in just 5 years. (Shrevewood, Kilmer, Marshall) There needs to be redistricting soon since none of these schools are even on the CIP, bc this growth with nowhere to go is unsustainable.  [/quote]

Kilmer's enrollment is down this year, with the AAP kids from the Langley pyramid returning to Cooper.

At the elementary level, the options include converting Dunn Loring or Pimmit Hills back to full-time elementary schools.  Part of Marshall can be reassigned to under-enrolled Langley (for example, FCPS could move some of the apartments in Tysons there to create a bit of diversity at Langley - it's nuts that Langley is 1.5% FARMS and Marshall is close to 20%).
