[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Perhaps that’s because no one expects Herndon’s boundaries to change before a new school is built, at which time Herndon might lose some areas and pick up others. People aren’t avoiding the issue because there is no issue to address - at least for another decade.[/quote]

Once more,  Herndon is not overcrowded.  The schools that are in the worst shape are Oakton, Chantilly, and Centreville.  Building a high school in Herndon would serve no purpose except to move Great Falls kids to Langley which would leave Langley way underenrolled.

So, the School Board will probably build the high school in Herndon.  And, Chantilly and Centreville will continue to burst at the seams.

Schools aren’t always built in the optimum sites. Take Langley, for example: the eastern end of Georgetown Pike is a really bad location for a FCPS high school.

But sometimes you work with the sites that are available, even if that requires more changes. If you add capacity in western Fairfax, it can ultimately provide relief to Centreville and Chantilly.  Not sure the hand-wringing about Oakton warrants the same level of attention, since both Oakton and Madison are getting expansions. [/quote]
