You're looking for some kind of quid pro quo, like you'll accept this school if you can guarantee some money earmarked for your school (McLean?). That's not how this is going to work. Not having to spend $450 million in the future is the benefit. Trying to tie how those future savings will be spent to specific schools or projects would only anger those who don't get their "guaranteed" kick back. The whole county benefits from not spending that money in the future as everything planned after the Western HS gets moved up by hundreds of millions of dollars.

What you call a quid pro quo others would consider equity.[/quote]

I really do not understand why you think this is inequitable.

Why do we build schools or expand them?  
So, you would wait for McLean to be expanded before you give ready relief to overcrowded schools in another area?

That is unfair in your mind?

I am not familiar with McLean.  It sounds egregious that it has not been upgraded if it is as bad as you say.  Certainly, it appears to be overcrowded.  As does Chantilly and, to a lesser extent, Westfield.

Honestly, you do not see the difference?
