you should be asking your fcps for more transparency about how long they knew of this sale. the the alumni had the funds to buy but because fcps and the seller were already in discussion long before the sale went public they were already cut out. that's what the person was trying to tell you. this wasn't a transparent deal nor gave a fair chance to the alumni to buy.

Take this dreck to the private school forum or sue someone. No one here cares. We are happy FCPS finally gets the land for a more convenient to me high school.
FTFY.
Nope, I live in McLean and won’t be affected by this school personally. But my loyalties lie with FCPS and its decades long CIP entry for a Western HS, not with the Saudis.

Anonymous wrote:FCPS should be taking the kids whose base school is Carson and moving them into the new school. That way we end the split feeder issue. Then each of the MS’s will feed into a specific high school.
The population at SLHS, Oakton, Westfield will all drop by a bit but not drastically. Kids from Chantilly and Centerville can be moved into SLHS, Westfield and Oakton. Although the families at both Centerville and Chantilly have said that they are fine staying put since the numbers at the school are dropping.
Now most of the schools in the area are closer to 90% capacity and split feeders have been addressed.

Agree. I predict it will open fall 2026 and actually serve the county’s public school population. Huge win!
