[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The land was supposed to be for the mythical western high school to alleviate Chantilly et al. but powerful people at other schools have helped FCPS drag its feet so that the domino effect would not burst their bubble and their personal plans.[/quote]

Where do you get that?  It was NOT powerful people at other schools.  It was the Board of Supervisors who needed a solution to the uproar in Burke over the Saudi plans.  So, they ponied up the property by Carson that was intended for the Western High School.  
The people in Burke stopped it there, and the BOS had a political problem--likely with pressure from the Obama administration to fix it.  So, they gave them the current property.
I live nearby.  NO ONE in the surrounding neighborhoods knew anything about it until it was a done deal.  No opportunity for community input.

I don't know how this came to be, but I can assure you, it had nothing to do with powerful people at other schools.  [/quote]

I wasnt talking about the Burke people.[/quote]

So, you think it was people who did not want a Western High School?  That's not the way it came down.[/quote]
