Weller's Planned 2020 Expansion

At the October PTO meeting, there was discussion about Weller being slated to expand in 2020. I reached out to Ashburn District Representative to the Loudoun County School Board, Eric Hornberger who was kind enough to send an extremely thorough response to my inquiry. We have invited Eric to a future PTO meeting to discuss this in more detail..... The below is directly from Eric.
 
The planned three-classroom expansion of SWES is part of a broader elementary school classroom expansion initiative within the school division that began a few years ago.  It is essentially increasing the size of all similarly designed elementary schools in areas of the county where additional capacity are anticipated to be needed, either because of continued residential development and/or the recent expansion of full-day kindergarten throughout the school division.  The elementary schools built using the same 44 classroom prototype would gain a similar three-classroom addition to bring them up to a total of 47 classrooms.  This is the number of classrooms in elementary schools under the last single-story ES prototype in use within the school division beginning with Cardinal Ridge ES which opened several years ago (LCPS has since gone to a slightly larger – 48 classroom – two-story prototype that is still in use for all new construction). Six such three-classroom additional project on the prior 44 classroom ES prototype have already been successfully implemented at Arcola, Creighton’s Corner, Legacy, Liberty, Pinebrook, and Rosa Lee Carter elementary schools.  These projects were funded in FY 2017, began in Spring 2017, and were completed in the Summer of 2018.  These additions have enabled the school division to respond continued growth in the county’s student population while also simultaneously implementing expanding access to  full-day kindergarten.

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am originally from California and have been living in the DC area for about 8 years. I moved to Ashburn 4 years ago and quite enjoy the area. I love to go out for long rides on my bicycle and am an avid cook. Recently I’ve been perfecting the art of smoking foods. 

I have one first grade daughter - Natalia. She and I like to spend our time going to movies, shopping for clothes, dressing in our tux and gown for operas and musicals at the Kennedy Center, and playing with Jupy, the most adorable Bedlington Terrier. We also travel quite a bit. Whether it is back to California to see family, jumping on a plane for a day trip to New York, or taking a road trip with my girlfriend and her son, we love to get out and experience new things. 
Most importantly, I love being around family and friends. I’m lucky to have a great group of people around me, especially Natalia, my girlfriend Melanie, and her son Clay. And I am thrilled that I am making new connections all the time through Steuart Weller and the PTO.
