It wasn’t about clout. When FCPS developed the renovation queue back in 2008, one of the factors deemed relevant was whether a school was overcrowded, which was a factor that got a school renovated sooner. FCHS wasn’t at the time, so it ended up further back in the queue. About the only school that got bumped up from its original spot in the queue was West Springfield HS, where a School Board member cut a deal to get it renovated sooner if she agreed to the closing of Clifton ES, which was also in her district.
