[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This purchase is a coup for Fairfax County.  This will be the nicest public school facility (of its size) in the County, perhaps in the entire State.  The original build cost was around $100M (excluding $15+M in other improvements).  If the FCPS tried to build something similar (they wouldn’t have, it’s too nice), I suspect it would have cost us taxpayers closer to $200M.[/quote]

Arlington’s Wakefield was more expensive (adjusting for inflation), and likely has the nicest gym and pool of any public or private high school in the state. [b]But yes, KAA sets the bar much higher for FCPS. I certainly hope future facilities will be constructed to the same level in terms of design and amenities.[/b] For a wealthy area taxpayers deserve better facilities. Just go to any other nice suburb outside of Philly, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, etc.  They are leagues ahead of what FCPS typically builds. [/quote]

there is a reason for that. kaa students and staff and faculty took care of the building.  because it was loved. [/quote]

Oh, nonsense. How ridiculous. [/quote]
