[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What ridiculous incompetence.

Literally just about anywhere else in the world, even in this country, school leaders would not waste time and they would open the dang school. Instead they want to listen to people bicker and squabble over this for another year?? What a waste.

Please. There is no solution to this that will make everyone 100% happy. Stop it with the theatrics about “community input” when it won’t matter in the end. No magnet school. do it by the numbers and eliminating split feeders, there, done. Families will adapt.[/quote]

Actually, anywhere else in the world they would’ve put more thought into the plan before buying such a large asset.[/quote]

No.  They need the school.  Westfield is full, Centreville is overcrowded, and Chantilly is bursting at the seams.[/quote]

Herndon has hundreds of empty seats and they’d already be working on the Centreville expansion if they had their act together. [/quote]

Don’t worry, great falls will soon fill those empty seats at Herndon. [/quote]

Coats fill Herndon HS seats now, so Great Falls will not. [/quote]

Nope. Coates* is being sent to western high school based on the maps that were released. This is why the great falls crowd is apoplectic about the KAA purchase. [/quote]

Great Falls has hated the idea of a western high school for a long time, dating at least back to Janie Strauss’s “sorry Langley” comment at a School Board work session 7-8 years ago where she tied a new western HS to changes in Langley’s boundaries.

Elaine Tholen spent four years on the SB opposing any efforts towards a new western HS.  Guess where she lived.

Robyn Lady was very enthusiastic about the KAA purchase at first to relieve overcrowding at Chantilly but since then seems to have been convinced to argue it should be a smaller magnet.  [/quote]

Robyn Lady understands the real threat of a challenger winning her seat. She’s upset Great Falls (boundary study) and McLean (no renovation in sight). There will be a concerted effort to get a moderate R in her seat in two years, and the last thing that the other school board members want is to have an R who can exercise oversight function on a lot of what they and FCPS does.

There’s zero chance any R wins any seat in the next election. If Lady loses it’ll be from a primary challenger. [/quote]
