To all SOCO whachos;


I am afraid that the fiscal state of schools is quite dire and we have no money for the SOCO Middle school.

Seen 'em out at SOCO they're pounding sixteen-penny nails
truckers on the Interstate have been known to ride the rails
sweat is beating on the brow, can't keep these fellows down
'cause these damned blue-collar tweakers, they are runnin' this here town.

SOCO PARENTS LIKE THESE TYPES OF SB MEMBER BECAUSED THEY CAN BE BRIBED.

When you put everything together we have a corrupt, evil,unethical and morally degenerate group of unprofessional School board members.

They need to go.

See these comments;

By that logic Stu Gibson cannot be stopped in Hunter Mill. Looking at the RD hearings, he really hates the Floris Asian community that spoke out at the hearing. He snikered, shook his head , looked down upon these speakers with asian accent. He will get back at them using the next RD due for the new elementary in that area. Things are going to get even nastier in this Gibson nightmare.


Yes and yet it was Bradsher who told everybody that these schools belonged to the SB and she represented the Springfield district. I personally did not agree with Bradsher's notion of the schools belonging to the SB. It is for everyone. I would be cautious with the word of "interferring" because these sbms talked privately in advance about the boundary decision and made back room deals. On another note of the word "public", I looked up the dictionary..anybody who would care, go look it up and see the meaning, it means open to everyone. Well, think of this way, there are thousands and thousands of public restrooms and we can choose any public restroom to use, well why can't this be the same way with public schools? These public schools do not only belong to the SB, it is for everyone and everyone has the right to choose which schools to go to!


Admire? Stu single handedly destroyed all public trust in the SB. He has done more harm to FCPS than all SBMs combined since start of FCPS.

Does FCPS and the BOS have $75 million dollars to spend on a new middle school for SOCO, when they could fix the problem now by redistricting a few hundread students to LBHS or Hayfield?

Where is the fiscal restraint?

No new school for Bradsher kids.

Can someone tell me how much money has been raised by the SOCO whiners?

Their money, not BOS money, not Brac money or money from the selling of land.

They want the school, so they can pay for it out of their pockets, not mine.

There are 4 schools surrounding SOCO that have 1200 empty seats-SOCO is overcrowded by 450 students.

So what is the problem with these SOCO people? Quick fix, get on a bus and RD them to any of the 4 schools that have 1200 empty seats.

Since Mount Vernon HS has 800 empty seats, we should put a middle school inside and make it a secondary school.

This will fix the whiners from SOCO.

The biggest South County agitators are the ones from the most northwest thumb of the current SCSS boundary. They would like nothing more than to move more of the eastern SC students out of SC and into Hayfield and MV. That way FRL and ESOL percentages can decrease at SC and more importantly Lake Braddock's empty seats would be removed from consideration to alleviate the SC overcrowding.

What will the SOCO whackos say about these facts?

Thankd so much for the 411 Don- too bad the morons on our school board didn't read the memo. The figure I saw was a net of MAYBE 50 students.

The irony is that Bradsher and Storck steal the $2 million BRAC planning money for their stupid middle school. If BRAC is such a threat why are we spending the planning money??

We cannot let these people continue to spew false information about this unnecessary school. Bradsher and Storck should be ashamed of themselves.

Connelly better step back and weigh whether he is willing to take on this fight. This issue could hurt him in his election. It shows gross mismanagement of funds.

That's right, them SOCOers are agitators, just like them damn smartass, college-educated, white kids who came down here in the 60s, trying to stir up all sorts of trouble, talking about equality of opportunity and sh*t like that. Well, we fixed some them there agitators and we'll take care of these new South County agitators too.

Damn it feels good to be with a group of like-minded folks who just love to hate!

The SOCO people went before the school board and stated that they had 27 million dollars. One question to them, where is the money? This school will cost 75 to 80 million dollars, where is the other 53 million dollars coming from? Car wash days?

No money, no school. Fix WSHS and the other 50 schools that need repairs ASAP.

Please do not call them south county because they were and are Lorton.

SCSS no, Lorton HS yes. Laurel Hill ES no, Lorton ES yes.

If you do not like Lorton, then you need to move to the real Fairfax Station which is noth of Lorton.

I just wanted to correct one error that people always make when discussing where they live, myself included. For years I thought I lived in a town called Annandale in the Fairfax County. However, Annandale is not a town, just as Lorton is not a town. It is not a city. It is only a postal address with a zip code.

Similarly, there is no town of Newington, or Merrifield or McLean or Centreville. These are all postal designations for the purposes of delivering mail, sometimes associated with a historic geographic designation, but nonetheless still USPS-defined areas. That's why there are no town councils or police or school systems for Lorton or McLean or Merrifield, etc....

This is different for actual incorporated towns and cities in Fairfax, such as Vienna, Herndon, Clifton and Faifax City. All of the people who live in these towns and cities have local town or city councils, as well as some local government services. However, there are people with a Clifton postal address who do not live in the Town of Clifton.

Actually, unless you live in one of these incorporated towns or cities, you do not legally reside in a town -- which is the case for the vast majority of Fairfax residents -- you only legally reside in Fairfax County. That's why you attend Fairfax County Public Schools.

You do also live in a Magisterial District, such as Mt. Vernon or Sully or Springfield. These names too are confusing, since they do not match up with postal designations or. For example, most of the area people refer to as "Sprinfield", including Springfield Mall, is NOT in Springfield Magesterial District.

There is one other kind of smaller legal area that a great many Fairfax County residents do live within, which is an HOA-governed subdivision . In fact, it would be more proper to say that someone lives in Laurel Hill or Newington Forest, or Crosspointe than to say they live in Lorton or Newington or Fairax Station, which is their official postal address. HOA's actually have governmenal powers to tax (assessments), spend and regulate their residents through elected boards HOA boards.

(There is one subdivision called Fairfax Station, so those actaully do live in both the Fairfax Station subdivision and have Fairfax Station as their postal address.)

Alternately, it would also be accurate to identify someone as living in southern Fairfax County, which is where the name South County was derived.

In the end, each person can define for themselves "where" they live - based upon their postal address, a regional description, their legal governmental area, their =HOA or housing subdivision, or a historical name for an area.

It's confusing, but important to understand when discussing where people live.

Right on, with only 50 + students there is no need for any new schools in SOCO.

Wait your turn. 2017 is your year.

Didn't Bradsher state at last Thursday's SB meeting that BRAC is an issue??

I don't get it?

Does she have information that the folks at Belvoir BRAC planning don't have?

Or is she just deliberately misleading the public?

I would be curious to know-

FCPS is going to eliminate the text book budget. They are going to have to charge for activity fees and AP/IB exams. I am sure GT will get hit eventually. They can't keep up with NCLB demands and continue to fund the luxury items.

We need books, we need no activitie fees, we need to improve NCLB and we need to spend 75 million dollars on these items, not a new school.

Once again, you (because there it seems obvious that there is one person makeing all the anti-South County posts) misunderstand how budgets work. You can't supplement operating expenses with bonding authority. But I suspect you know that already. It is just part of your long-running rant against South County children's need to have a middle school, something every other child in Fairfax County already has.

Just like the students at Lake Braddock, Hayfield, and Robinson, South County kids get a middle school education in 7th and 8th grade. It just happens to be taught in the same building as the 9th-12th graders.

It is a very easy solution to send the northwest kids to LB and the northeast kids to Hayfield since there is space at both schools. All 3 schools offer the AP curriculum and LB ranked much higher in the most recent Newsweek ratings than SC.

The TRUTH is that Lake Braddock, Hayfield and Robinson were all built decades ago as Secondary Schools. They were meant to operate permanently as secondary schools, which was an educational philosophy embodied in the physical design of those schools.

The TRUTH is that South County is a High School that was built to serve TEMPORARILY as a high school, until a middle school was built in 2014. It is the same design as Westfiled, which is a high school. Putting 7th and 8th graders in and calling it a "secondary school" may save some money, but it is cheating the South County middle school students.

Finish the pyramid. A middle school is needed to go with the high school. The children of South County deserve no less.

Truth, why is SOCO over capacity today? Because the SB caved to political pressure from people like you and the boundary decisions they made.

Their problem, so they need to fix it by filling empty seats first at other schools.

This is a self-made problem. Because some Fairfax Station people were so scared of exposing their kids to others from the wrong side of the railroad tracks, I mean I95, they insisted on building a school before its time on the CIP schedule AND they were wanted it for 7th and 8th graders as well as high schoolers. If the SCSS 7th and 8th graders were getting such a rotten education, proactive parents would be pupil-placing them elsewhere.

What's cheating all the students is the selfishness of the northwest area of SCSS to consider LB.

"The TRUTH is that Lake Braddock, Hayfield and Robinson were all built decades ago as Secondary Schools. They were meant to operate permanently as secondary schools, which was an educational philosophy embodied in the physical design of those schools.

The TRUTH is that South County is a High School that was built to serve TEMPORARILY as a high school, until a middle school was built in 2014. It is the same design as Westfiled, which is a high school. Putting 7th and 8th graders in and calling it a "secondary school" may save some money, but it is cheating the South County middle school students.

Finish the pyramid. A middle school is needed to go with the high school. The children of South County deserve no less."

Both are underenrolled and undercapacity.

Both have high FRM percentages.

Both have neighboring schools with capacity issues.

Come on Bradsher and Storck-be consistent here. You both voted for the West County Redistricting-do it in your own district.

This is a self-made problem. Because some Fairfax Station people were so scared of exposing their kids to others from the wrong side of the railroad tracks, I mean I95, they insisted on building a school before its time on the CIP schedule AND they wanted it for 7th and 8th graders as well as high schoolers. If the SCSS 7th and 8th graders were getting such a rotten education, proactive parents would be pupil-placing them elsewhere.

What's cheating all the students is the selfishness of the northwest area of SCSS to consider LB.

Deals

Conclusion: Storck/Bradsher and other school board members are used to doing back-room deals with SOCO whiners and talking freely out of both sides of their mouths. Thanks to CAPS and others on this forum for pointing this out, and to Google for making it possible to expose the inconsistencies.

The ones being cheated are the students - present and future - who are watching as Dean Tistadt and Jack Dale try to steal the middle school planned and needed for South County.

Sorry that the School Board screwed folks in the South Lakes fiasco.

But, trying to get revenge by having others screwed just as bad is not helping either the students of South County or the ones at South Lakes.

When that dingbat spoke at the SB meeting and stated that she brought her piggybank with $27 million I had to laugh. Who the hell made her queen? She stole $2 million from BRAC planning, she hocked some piece of PUBLIC land for $15 million and the BOS is offering $10 million to shut Storck and Bradsher up. How exactly is that her piggy bank?

South County Secondary School
Analysis of Overcrowding and Potential Solutions
May 23, 2008



Executive Summary


The South County Secondary School (SCSS) is operating on a 9-period day as a means to manage its overcrowding. While designed to be a high school with a capacity of 2,500 students, it has operated since it opened in 2005 as a secondary school. Its current enrollment is approximately 2,960 students. It is necessary to provide relief to the school either by enhancing capacity or reducing enrollment, or some combination thereof. This analysis and staff recommendation are based upon the need to provide relief as quickly as possible to the overcrowding at SCSS.

Staff recognizes that circumstances can change in the future. We don’t know if the budget challenges facing the Board of Supervisors will result in their reducing future cash flow for capital projects. We don’t know the extent that changes such as BRAC might have on student enrollments in this part of the county. We need to find solutions to the known overcrowding at SCSS while maintaining flexibility to address future conditions.

This analysis examines current and future enrollment at SCSS and explores the options that might be available to address its overcrowding. Solution options considered were:

Boundary changes
Build a new middle school to serve this area
Build an addition to the existing school
Relocate programs

To supplement and illustrate this analysis, a map entitled ‘South County Student Yield Analysis’ and the details of the revised school capacity analysis are provided in Attachments 1 and 2, respectively.











Staff Recommendation

Based upon the fact that we do not project significant increases in enrollment at SCSS, we recommend an addition to the existing school. This option is less expensive than building a new middle school and provides sufficient capacity to meet the enrollment needs of the school. Assuming cooperation from the county and the absence of unusual circumstances, we believe the addition can be built in time for the opening of the 2010-2011 school year.

If future enrollments exceed projections, it would be possible to consider building the middle school. For this reason, the middle school should remain in the capital improvement program. Over the next several years as we monitor student enrollments in this part of the county, we should examine creative means by which to construct the middle school should it be justified. Such creative strategies might include PPEA’s or examination of the school system’s current capital plans and assets. School closings, mergers, and expansions, should all be part of our considerations if such actions are supported by data and could benefit our capital program.



Statement of Condition

South County Secondary School (SCSS) has capacity to accommodate 800 middle and 1,700 high school students. With the opening of SCSS in fall 2005, enrollment for the middle school was 1,083 students and for the high school was 1,422 students for a total enrollment of 2,505. The fall 2006 enrollment was at 1,049 for the middle school and increased to 1,978 for high school for a total enrollment of 3,027. Fall 2007 enrollment for the middle school has dropped back to 885 students and increased to 2,044 students for the high school for a total enrollment of 2,929. The current projections for the combined middle and high school membership for the next five years range between 2,800 -2,900 students with the middle school averaging generally around 900 and the high school averaging around 1,950. These projections consider the remaining development in the pipeline (site plan/subdivision plan approved and/or under construction) that would normally be included within the 5-year CIP window. It should be noted that the projections made in 2005 and 2006 for the out-years at SCSS ranged from 3,200 to 3,400. The current projections have been adjusted to reflect the recent enrollment trends and the boundary adjustment between Hayfield Secondary School and SCSS implemented at the beginning of 2007.

Based upon enrollment projections and the recently completed capacity analysis of this school, SCSS will remain approximately 350 – 500 students above current capacity. Absent remedial action, the school will have to continue to operate on a 9-period day. This level of overcrowding at SCSS cannot be sustained and must be addressed so that the school can return from a 9-period day to a normal 7-period schedule for students and staff.

Projections for the surrounding schools anticipate that student populations will likely remain fairly stable or experience slight increases. The table below compares the current enrollments and near term projections for SCSS.

Projected and Actual Student Yield in the SCSS Attendance Area

Staff analysis of student yields for the SCSS attendance area reveals that the total number of students is higher than what would be anticipated using the current countywide student yield ratios by housing type. Using available dwelling unit information from the county, there are a total of 9,977 residential units in the SCSS attendance area which includes approximately 6,000 single family units, 3,000 townhouses, 700 multi-family units, and 150 low-rise and duplex units. The following table provides a comparison of the student yield ratios by housing type for the SCSS attendance area and the average countywide student yield ratios by unit type.



Student Yield Ratio Single Family Townhouses Low-rise Duplex Multi-family Garden
Countywide .241 .158 .084 .084 .084
SCSS .289 .288 .292 .298 .287

While the countywide student yield ratios are generally used only in formulating development impacts associated with new residential rezonings, it is clear that the SCSS attendance area has yielded more students from all housing types but has particularly high yields from town homes and the more dense multi-family housing developments than what might be anticipated by the countywide averages. The residential developments which have impacted the SCSS attendance more than any other are the Laurel Hill and Laurel Highlands developments, which were rezoned for higher residential density in 2001.

The chart below is intended to highlight the projected student yield at the time of the rezoning approval in 2001 and the present student count for the 2007-2008 school year for these two developments. As noted in the chart, the projected student yield and the actual student yield for Laurel Highlands are similar to what was projected in 2001 to the present day. Laurel Hill, on the other hand, features more single family detached units, which in the past, has had a greater student yield, and which could account for the rise in actual student yield over what was projected in 2001. Both developments have ultimately yielded significantly more middle and high school students than what was calculated at the time of rezoning.


  Total DU approved Projected student yield
2001 Actual student count 2007
Laurel Hill 732 total -        
582 SFD, 150 SFA 418 total
263 ES, 47 MS, 108 HS 584 total -                         292 ES, 95 MS, 197 HS
Laurel Highlands 539 total -  
144 SFD, 106 SFA, 289 MF 122 total (does not include MF) - 81ES,
15 MS, 35 HS 129 total-                         61 ES, 28 MS, 40 HS

It should be noted that for Laurel Highlands, the projected student count and actual student count does not include multi-family units since those have not yet been constructed.


Anticipated Residential Growth

It is anticipated that some growth will continue within the SCSS boundary. The approved 289 mid-rise units remain to be constructed and occupied in Laurel Highlands and may yield approximately 3 middle and 7 high school students, although the actual yields may be higher consistent with other developments in the SCSS attendance area. However, the majority of remaining land area within the SCSS attendance area is zoned and planned for very low residential densities. Most of the residential development currently pending is by-right development that was approved within the last couple of years but has not yet been developed. By-right developments do not need special zoning approval and are permitted so long as they meet all Zoning Ordinance and county regulations. The following chart summarizes the status of residential development in the SCSS boundary area and the potential yield of approximately 76 additional middle and high school students. There are no pending residential rezoning applications within this attendance area.

BRAC (Base Realignment and Closures)

The county has responded to the impending relocation of jobs to Ft. Belvoir by initiating a re-planning process that could add some additional residential development potential within the SCSS attendance area. Of the 35 BRAC Plan Amendment nominations submitted, two are within the SCSS boundary:

PC 2008-037 proposes an option for mixed-use development with up to 1,072 multi-family high-rise units - total of 84 students (46 ES, 12 MS, 26 HS).

PC 2008-036 proposes an option for mixed-use development with up to 804 units - total of 63 students (35 ES, 9 MS, 19 HS).


If approved, these two BRAC nominations represent potential new student yields since both areas are undeveloped and do not currently permit residential development. Based on the current proposals, approximately 66 students may be anticipated at such future time as the Comprehensive Plan is amended, rezoning and site plan applications approved, and construction and occupancy commences. Continued planning and development of Laurel Hill adaptive re-use area could also add more residential development potential.

Student Growth Summary

It should be noted that these estimated student yields are based on county-wide averages. The potential new growth is unlike most of the existing developments that make up the housing stock in the SCSS attendance area. New development is likely to be either higher urban densities associated with BRAC or smaller in-fill developments and subdivisions. While these new developments may yield more students than the countywide averages, it is less likely that the higher ratios associated with Laurel Hill, Laurel Highlands, or the larger SCSS attendance area would be duplicated.

The majority of the potential residential growth outlined above would likely not begin construction and/or be occupied for another five or more years. BRAC Plan Amendments are not scheduled for Board of Supervisors public hearings until 2009 and, if approved, would be subject to the rezoning and site plan process which can take up to several years. The depressed housing market has resulted in little movement for by-right in-fill or proffered development. While the potential for growth is not insignificant, it is only a small part of what will have the most influence over the future growth or decline in membership for SCSS. It would not be appropriate to simply add the potential student yield based on future development into the current student population mix which is the foundation for student projections until these projects are near completion.

To better understand the future membership for SCSS, greater consideration of change within the feeder schools is needed. SCSS serves multiple feeder elementary schools. Currently, Halley, Silverbrook, and Newington Forest feed 100 percent of their students into SCSS; Lorton Station and Gunston feed 26 percent and 21 percent of their students, respectively, to SCSS. Silverbrook is the largest feeder to SCSS with an estimated 190 6th graders feeding into 7th grade for 2008 followed by 90 students from Newington Forest and 76 from Halley. Lorton Station will feed 22 students (26 percent of 84 in 6th grade class) and Gunston, 17 students (21 percent of 83 in 6th grade class). A review of the lower grades feeding into SCSS over the next five years does not show any large numbers of students in any specific grade level(s).

The table below provides the projected enrollments by class for the South County Middle feeder schools for the 2008-09 school year. Note that the 6th grade classes which will feed to South County Middle 7th grade in the 2009-10 school year are generally smaller than the current feeder classes with the exception of Halley which is projected to feed 83 students in 2 years. Silverbrook, which will feed 190 this fall, is projected to feed 180 the following year. Newington Forest will send 90 students this fall to South County Middle and is projected to send 71 the following year. Lorton Station and Gunston which only feed a small percentage of the 7th grade, also show smaller feeder classes for 2009-10 school year.

Feeder Schools to South County Middle

Halley 80 78 101 72 76 87 83
Silverbrook 129 145 165 168 170 169 180

Totals 332 341 382 352 361 343 360
The enrollment numbers and feeder percentages listed on the
table above are based on Spring Update for School year 2008-09

Projections for the next five years at Silverbrook indicate moderate growth for the next three years followed by decline. Silverbrook is a maturing residential area that has experienced a growth in students in recent years. That growth may begin to diminish slightly in the next five years as the younger, larger groups are followed by slightly smaller cohorts.

Projections at Halley show continued strong growth over the next five years. Halley has experienced growth in both Asian and Hispanic populations, which as a group have contributed to the increases in FCPS in recent years and may for the next several years, as well.

Projections for the next five years at Newington Forest indicate slight growth in the next 2-3 years and then stable, flat enrollments. Newington Forest is also a maturing residential area with a diverse population. In recent years the area has experienced a growth in Hispanic and Black populations both which may contribute to moderate growth in the near term.

The current residential real estate climate and economic conditions are vastly different from the conditions that existed when Laurel Hill and Laurel Highlands were being planned, rezoned, constructed, and occupied. The impact of the changes in the base feeder schools will be the primary factor influencing the future class sizes for SCSS. Staff has modeled the projections based on class cohort survival rates and account for new development and school boundary changes. What remains speculative are the continued impacts of demographic changes, the continued impact of increased energy costs, the impacts of immigration policies of neighboring counties, and the impact of new job opportunities related to BRAC, which could all influence individual family decisions to move into the area.

These factors, among others, could result in higher than anticipated student yields for the future multi-family units in Laurel Highlands and greater that average student yields from both townhouse and multi-family housing types. However, over time, it is more likely that the current higher yields for SCSS overall will tend to move toward the countywide averages for the various housing types.

In light of the feeder school analysis above, we project an overall stable school population with moderate growth where noted during the next five years. There is nothing definitive that would suggest substantive increases within SCSS after that time.


Potential Solutions

There are three possible solutions to the overcrowding were considered during this analysis. The purpose of this document is to consider and articulate 1) a conceptual description of each alternative, (2) the funding sources, as appropriate, that support each alternative; and (3) an assessment of the relative viability and risks of each alternative, in both the short-term and the long-term.

The potential solutions are:

Modify existing middle, high, or secondary school boundaries.
Build an addition to the existing SCSS
Build a new middle school.
Make program assignment changes.

Modify Boundaries

One potential solution to overcrowding at SCSS is to move students from that school to one or more of the surrounding contiguous schools. Five high/secondary schools have boundaries contiguous to SCSS – Mount Vernon, Hayfield, Lake Braddock, West Springfield, and Lee. At the middle school level the contiguous boundaries are with Whitman, Hayfield, Key, Irving, and Lake Braddock.

Increases in enrollment have occurred during SY 2007 - 2008 at schools throughout the county and have impacted these specific schools. We have updated the projections for these schools for the next school year but we have not yet done so for the 5-year projections.

We just completed new capacity studies for these schools and these capacities are shown in this document. In certain cases, capacities were increased and in other cases there were decreases.

Along with other FCPS schools, SCSS’ capacity was recently evaluated using the new methodology developed by the Office of Design and Construction Services. The results of the calculation show that the school has a current program capacity of 2,573 students.

Following are the capacity situations at each of these schools that were projected for 2012-2013 as included in the 2009-2013 Capital Improvement Program, but with new capacities. The detailed calculation information is included in this document as Attachment 2.


2012-2013 2012-2013 Percent
Projected Over/(Under) Capacity
School Capacity Enrollment Capacity Utilized
Lake Braddock HS 3079 2223 -856 72.2%
West Springfield HS 2107 2097 -10 99.5%
Lee HS 2111 1745 -366 82.7%
Hayfield HS 2180 2034 -146 93.3%
Mount Vernon HS 2279 1714 -565 75.2%
Totals 11756 9813 -1943 83.5%

Lake Braddock MS 1292 1248 -44 96.6%
Irving MS 1032 1022 -10 99.0%
Key MS 1000 750 -250 75.0%
Hayfield MS 1050 1059 9 100.9%
Whitman MS 1000 1076 76 107.6%
Totals 5374 5155 -219 95.9%

Grand Totals 17130 14968 -2162 87.4%


Even considering that enrollment projections can never be perfectly accurate, it would appear that sufficient capacity, slightly more than 1900 seats, exists to solve the overcrowding at SCSS. However, a more detailed examination suggests that might not be easy to accomplish. For example, a significant portion of the available capacity is at Mount Vernon High School. Its feeder middle school, Whitman, is projected to be over-capacity. This exact circumstance also is true at Lake Braddock Secondary School. This means it will be very difficult to take advantage of the high school capacities at Mount Vernon and Lake Braddock due to the lack of capacity at their feeder middle schools.

The one exception is Key Middle School and Lee High School that together are projected to have over 600 available seats. We are not recommending using the capacities at these schools to address the needs of SCSS unless other options to solve the overcrowding are determined to not be viable. First, these communities have never been discussed as potential solutions to SCSS overcrowding. Before considering them, it would be appropriate to notify the community and to give sufficient time for discussion and community feedback. Second, the capacities at Lee High School and Key Middle School might be needed in the future to provide relief to West Springfield High School and Irving Middle School should the enrollments at those schools exceed projections.

There is potential to provide some relief to SCSS at Lake Braddock but we would be reluctant to recommend moving 500 students into that school as its high school enrollment then would approach 2800 students.

What this data suggests is that while it would be difficult to take advantage of available capacity in surrounding schools to help address capacity issues at South County, it is also true that we don’t need to build new capacity within the South County attendance area to help meet capacity/enrollment challenges at surrounding schools.


Build a New Middle School

One potential solution is to build a new middle school and to have the current school become a high school. There are several alternative strategies that could be used for a middle school. We own a 35-acre site designated for a middle school. This site is not contiguous to the current secondary school site. Because of the site’s topography and the presence of designated wetlands, developing this site as a middle school does pose certain challenges. We believe we can build a middle school on this site for approximately $53 million and have it ready to open in 2011 or 2012. Because of the presence of wetlands and uncertain soil conditions, the site permit process may take longer than typically is the case and the project may experience unanticipated cost increases to deal with these issues.

We have explored the possibility of exchanging land with the Park Authority. The Park Authority owns the property that is located between the middle school site and the current secondary school. Building a middle school on this site would allow the school system to use the existing fields on the secondary school site thus reducing the scope of the middle school project and reducing overall costs. It also means that we would require fewer acres on which to build the school and associated infrastructure. Preliminary discussions with Park Authority staff did not suggest interest in such a land exchange.

If the School Board determines that it wants a middle school built, and if the primary purpose of the school is to provide needed relief to the current overcrowding at SCSS, staff recommends that the school be built on our current site. This approach avoids the potential delays that could be experienced if we try to work a land exchange with the Park Authority either as a part of or separate from a public-private partnership strategy.

Alternative 1 – Bridge Financing. Discussions with financing experts have indicated that there are strategies by which the School Board could build a middle school in the near future but not actually incur the costs for several years. Construction of the middle school currently shows in the capital program’s cash flow as beginning in FY 2017. It would be difficult to develop a financing bridge plan to that fiscal year but it is possible to FY 2014. Moving the cost of the middle school project to FY 2014 would have an impact on renovation projects that would occur within that time period. The specific schools are not yet known but will undoubtedly include those schools rated with the greatest renovation needs as a part of the current renovation queue study. A bridge financing plan would require approval by the Board of Supervisors.

Alternative 2 – PPEA’s . Another means to creatively finance the middle school is to consider public-private partnerships (PPEA’s). As of the end of April 2008, one PPEA has been submitted to Fairfax County and there are indications that another will be submitted in the near future. It is not known if these proposals are viable but they do offer the potential to generate at least $20 million towards the cost of the middle school. The primary concern with relying upon PPEA’s is that is will take a great deal of time and effort to consider each proposal and the ultimate outcomes are uncertain. Considering the overcrowding relief needed by SCSS, it does not appear reasonable to rely upon a process that might not be successful.

Key Issue – Bridge Financing. Staff notes that we have misgivings about the use of bridge financing as a means to build now and pay later. First, doing so could create an expectation in other communities that the same scenario should be used to accelerate their capital projects. Second, it presumes that funds will be available in the future when payments need to begin. Considering the current budget problems, it is possible that the school system could experience reductions in capital funding in future years. If this were to occur, prior commitments through bridge financing could place the school system in a very difficult situation.

Build an Addition to the Existing Secondary School

South County Secondary School is the same basic design as Westfield High School. Both schools were designed to allow for the addition of a classroom wing. Such a wing was added to Westfield to increase that school’s capacity and it can also be done at South County. Assuming that the addition provided capacity for 625 students, the revised total school’s capacity would be 3,198. Of this total, there would be approximately 1,000 middle school seats and 2,200 high school seats which would provide a significant buffer should enrollments substantially exceed projections.

An addition to South County can be designed to address the needs of a secondary versus a high school, i.e., some level of separate of middle and high school students. To this end, interior modifications to certain existing spaces may be required.

Because it is an existing design that was completed at Westfield, we believe that we could launch the project and complete it successfully in about 24 - 26 months. This means that if we were to begin the project in summer 2008, the addition should be ready for the 2010 – 2011 school year.

The approximately 55,000 square foot addition could accommodate five complete middle school teams (625 students team taught). Since the high school then would be about 500 under capacity, the additional unused high school space would accommodate the other middle school teams. We would examine the ability to locate these teams proximate to the new addition and to provide as much separation from the high school areas as possible.

The addition would contain five of the following:

Science
Math
Social Studies
English

It would also contain:

(2) multi-purpose rooms
Tech Tools Lab
Foreign Language Classroom

We estimate the project cost to be approximately $12 – 13 million based upon recent bids.


Program Relocations

Because SCSS does not bridge students to the school from other schools, there are no program adjustments that can be made that would reduce overcrowding at SCSS. We did consider the potential to create space at Lake Braddock by relocating some or all of the middle school GT program at that school. This option was not found feasible as the sending schools – Robinson, South County, and Irving Middle Schools all lack space for the return of their GT students.

The solution is simple: do a major boundary adjustment in that ENTIRE area, from Woodson to Mt. Vernon. This would fix those entire “ISLAND” the school board created over the years. Hope FCPS staff has balls and fix the schools instead of building a middle school.

They took $2 million from BRAC planning, they are selling land to a developer for $15 million and they MAY get $10 million from the BOS. Guess what? It all comes from the same pot of money-the taxpayer.

Wait a minute, SOCO is going to get an addition? I thought that the goal was to make high schools SMALLER. Wasn't that the justification for the South Lakes boundary change, that they had to make Chantilly and Westfield smaller? Now they are going to make SOCO larger AND leave them in the que for a new middle school too? Sheeze.

I am trying to follow all of the players here. EnviroSolutions owns a landfill near Lorton that will be "full" soon-I guess there is a height requirement. I am assuming you can't build houses on a pile of garbage so they are proposing to sell the land to the Park Authority and will offer to pay for part of the middle school.

I assume the land has limited use and the options are slim for the company to recover any money back from the land value-a deal with the parks dept puts money in the company's pockets. This Conrad Mehan guy who works for EnviroSolutions is active in the SOCO area even though he lives in Ashburn. His name is often mentioned in donations to the schools in the SOCO area. His company is a big contributor to Connelly and they were just granted approval by Fairfax zoning/planning dept to have their garbage pile grow higher than it was originally approved for.

Something fishy is going on here. Looks like more back room deals with our politicians and business people who are looking for favors.

Let's hope one of the papers digs a little deeper into this mess-no pun intended.

School Board member Elizabeth "Liz" Bradsher (Springfield) said she had pledged to get West Springfield fixed when she was campaigning for her seat last summer and so far she has done nothing.

"When I took a tour of the school recently, I went out to the trailers and realized it was the same trailer my sister had been in," she said. "I think her initials were still on one of the desks."

With each visit, Bradsher said she sees more and more items that need fixing, which causes her to become frustrated.

FRUSTRATED? You need to fix the f__king school now. She has no idea on how to fix serious problems in the school system.

These are the facts whiners.

Army spokesmen contend that most of the employees whose jobs are moving to the area already live in the region and will not move, so the impact on schools will be minimal.

Their argument was bolstered by an independent study commissioned last year by the Northern Virginia Workforce Investment Board, which concluded that “southern Fairfax can expect an additional 50 children.”

Dan Storck, Liz Bradsher, Gerry Hyland, Dave Albo and any other crooked politician who wants to continue their unscrupulous acts at attempting to mislead the public in order to get this school built, better think very hard about their political future. You have a responsibility to 165,000 students and one million residents of this county. To continue to act on behalf of a few hundred is obscene. We are in a recession. You have an obligation to be prudent with every dollar that the taxpayer gives you.

Fort Belvoir will eventually need a second elementary school, yes, and has identified acreage in the master plan where it could be built. The need is based on a couple things, actually. One, the current school was reconfigured to accommodate additional requirements for special-needs classes. Also, even though we are not adding to the number of homes on post, the typical family living here is larger.

It seems that funds should be allocated to the overflowing elementray schools at FT Belvoir and not to the SOCO group.

ANSWER: Because instead of letting the facilities people draw the lines and keep the school from becoming overcrowded the day it opened, the School Board members (namely Storck) pimped himself out to the likes of Bradsher and let to many kids in. They took from LB, Hayfield and Lee and guess what? Now they need to send them back to the scools they should never have been taken from in the first place.


As an observer on the "edge" of the SOCO boundary, let me tell you this . . .the SOCO whiners are the most self-righteous, self-centered, and elitist parents I have ever observed. Thankfully, my child goes to "another school." Thanks to the US government, I have lived overseas many years . . .to include in so-called third world countries. My child thrived in an overseas school in one of those countries and learned a second language. He is now an honor student at an excellent Fairfax County School that is often mentioned as a possible alternative for the SOCO students. Frankly, I don't want such elitist parents in his school. I have had frequent contact with the SOCO whiners via various sports programs . . .

ISSUES TO WATCH:

1. the upcoming debacle over the Laurel Hill Elementary Boundaries. The whining about the percentage of FRL/ESL children (i.e. "I don't want my child with those kids . . ") Come on, don't be "Stepford Wives"!

2. Liz Bradshear's "sell-out" of the West Springfield community and the much needed renovations at that school. She was elected to support her entire community but we all know her platform is THE "LOCO" SOCO community. I feel for the WSHS community . . .you deserve better representation.

3. Watch Dave Albo . . .he lives in the Sangster/Lake Braddock district (BUT RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE SOCO BOUNDARY). . and I'm willing to bet his kid will be "pupil placed" into Halley/Silverbrook/Laurel Hill and EVENTUALLY SOCO . . . since he and Lizbo Bradshear are such good friends . . .

The simple truth is these SOCO whiners do not want their kids in the same school with BLACKS or HISPANICS.

The School Board released a document that had Staff's responses to the Board's questions on the latest CIP. All of Bradsher's questions related to SoCo Middle - she was incensed that there were any statements that could be construed as suggesting the Board might yet decide to redistrict SoCo or build an addition rather than a brand new school.

It seemed the Staff was annoyed by her questions - their responses seemed to highlight that the money really isn't going to materialize any time soon, and that there is plenty of capacity at neighboring schools.

If I were in West Springfield district, I would be furious.

I thought this thread was dead! Don’t worry; FCPS will not have money to build a new middle school for South County. The school board needs to redistrict the entire area; a boundary change is way overdue. Hayfield, Mount Vernon and West Potomac are under capacity and they need students. Shift students from Lake Braddock, West Springfield, Lee and Edison over, (move some students from Hayfield to West Potomac or Mount Vernon) and they would have plenty of seats available at Lake Braddock for the Silverbrook students. That way the parents could not complain about a split feeder school.

I teach at South County and we have lots of minorities (which is good!). I'm sure other schools have more than us, but it's not like the kids are all white.
