[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Humanities magnet or any other magnet is not something you do when the budget looks so tight.  It doesn’t save any money.

KAA is placed precisely where a new HS has been proposed for decades.  It can solve many issues in the western part of the county. Its cost is far less that a new school or even an expansion of an existing school would cost. Plus, it saves time - it’s here- no need to expand other schools in the area, no need to acquire  land and build. Time also saves money- especially with inflation.

Will it be a perfect solution? Of course not, so that means there will be plenty of things to pick at and try to derail it - if one so chooses.  So, we do not have to worry about not having anything to discuss. [/quote]

Claiming this school will cost less than the expansion of an existing school is false. The recent expansions of West Potomac, Justice, and Madison each cost far less than $150 million.

It may cost less than the construction of a new high school or the full renovation and expansion of an existing school - this remains to be seen - but there is no need to lie. [/quote]

The renovation/expansion of Centreville is listed at $300 million.  I do not believe that includes furnishings.[/quote]

And the PP just referred to the expansion of an existing school.  Recent stand-alone additions have cost less than $50M each.  [/quote]

Where were these?  How recent and how large?

Then, adapting KAA will certainly not cost that much.  There are already two additional stand alone buildings.[/quote]
