The expansion will bring the schools capacity to 2500, which is what the school already has. What the expansion will do is probably get rid of or reduce the amount of trailers as the school is essentially at 2500 right now. You may be right about Oakton but I haven't heard anything about that. I know for a fact that Centreville and Chantilly are overcrowded and there isn't much that can be done about it.
