[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does TJ get to stay at 1800 students and yet other FCPS schools are at 2600 and greater? If TJ is mandated to be 1800 students, whose to say that the state agrees with these larger schools?[/quote] While operated by FCPS, TJ is also designated as a governor's school by the state. As such, it gets additional state funding, but one of the conditions is to cap enrollment. If TJ was not a governor's school subject to that restriction, FCPS could use it as a neighborhood school, in which case it could enroll more students and there'd be no need for an addition at Stuart. If TJ were reopened as a neighborhood school, with related boundary adjustments at Annandale, Falls Church, Stuart, and Woodson, FCPS could have five high schools with 1800 kids and room for growth. Of course, returning the TJ kids to their home schools would add to overcrowding in the pyramids that send the most students to TJ, including Oakton, McLean and Chantilly. [/quote]
