The last set of facts I saw, provided through the numbers that FCPS has (actual, not projected) showed the school (LBSS) had not gone down as their forecast stated two years ago. In fact, enrollment this year showed to go up about the same number of seats they had hoped to fill with "bad data."
When the numbers were questioned, it came back as data provided by the FCPS district. WIth School Board Members present, if the information was not valid, I am sure they would have corrected it. They did not.
There IS a school that is sorely under-filled. Mount Vernon. Shifting students to the east though, is not good for politics, and it does not matter who the elected person is. Nobody is talking about that fact.
Liz Bradsher and others she worked with in the 1990's, are the reason there IS an SCSS today. NOT because the county fulfilled their deal, not because large chunks of funding became available from TAXES. Actually, another Fairfax Underground hero, Dave Albo, helped that process along through the private/public partnership. But we'll try to keep this from becoming about Albo along with school lines as well.
