[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langley’s enrollment has been flat and other areas in the county have seen far more growth. While the school was due for a renovation, building it out to accommodate 2350 kids - at a location that only has one entrance/exit and is in a corner of the county - probably wasn’t the best use of the county’s money.  But it undoubtedly made some contractors happy.[/quote].

Making it bigger was the right thing to do.  It is very close to Tysons were there will be significant growth and we need all the HS space we can get. [/quote]

There are multiple schools closer to Tysons and experiencing more growth than Langley. Expanding Langley’s boundaries is completely misaligned with other FCPS priorities.  So it was not the right thing to do, even if it may have been the easiest thing to do. [/quote] Please, Tysons is closer than a large part  of Langley’s district and it is close enough to Tysons to take the pressure of some of the other HS.  Langley is one of the smallest HS in the entire county- so it  also makes sense to increase its population so that it can offer more varied classes that other HS can with larger student populations.
