[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And maybe use some of that $36M to give MV a middle school AAP feeder?[/quote]

Just be aware - $36M is only part of the cost of renovating West Potomac. The recent West Springfield HS renovation/expansion cost over $90M.[/quote]

More - went back to the 2015-2019 CIP, here were the budgets for the high school renovations:

Marshall - $72M
Jefferson - $89M
Langley - $75M
West Springfield $90M
Herndon - $97M
Oakton - $96M
Falls Church - $93M

West Potomac is an odd set up - students have to move between separate buildings. Not sure what was agreed to, but I know parents wanted the county to connect the buildings.

They are planning on adding 700 seats. Not seeing how they add that space and connect the buildings for only $36M given the cost of the other renovations/expansions of the other high schools.[/quote]

These are complete renovations.  They are planning to spend $36 million on West Potomac outside the normal renovation cycle, when West Potomac was not otherwise scheduled for a renovation. Absolutely pathetic.  [/quote]
