[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean isn't the only part of the county with huge class sizes, though.  However, I do get your point about McLean NIMBY-ism.

But this class size issue is going to grow louder - have you seen the latest projections for West County?  And we're not talking the wealthiest part of the county.  These are people in apartments and THs.[/quote]

Which area is West County?[/quote]

Herndon, Oak Hill, Chantilly, Centreville.  [/quote]

Didn't they just redo these boundaries a few years ago when they closed down Clifton elementary? [/quote]

well, they are going to have to continue to rejigger that nonsense.

The current AAP center proposal, with just one grade moved to Poplar Tree, leaves GBW almost 200 kids over capacity still.

If they move 2 grades, GBW will still be close to 150 over capacity.  Which in the Haycock/Lemon Road situation, was apparently "an emergency situation"?

If 3 grades are moved, only grandfathering in one grade, both schools are then ~95 over capacity.

I realize this discussion is abaout class sizes, but this all ties together.[/quote]
