- FCPS is in need of land upon which they can build a new school to relieve overcrowding in the Bailey’s Crossroads and Seven Corners area, and provide space for vital educational and community programs for this region.
- The Willston site is a former elementary school property that was deeded to Fairfax County in 1983.
- The county is already planning to abandon the property.
We, the undersigned, urge the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to transfer ownership of the Willston Multicultural Center property to Fairfax County Public Schools for use as a site to build a new school that will provide vital education and community programs to the children and adults of the surrounding community.

My niece goes to school near there and the hallways are a nightmare. Please make this happen for the community.
this is so overdue. the neighborhood is growing so fast and we have nowhere for the kids to go. use the land for what it was meant for!
The overcrowding at Baileys is getting ridiculous. My kids are in massive classes and the county needs to step up and use the land we already have.
Schools > offices. Plain and simple.
Give it back to the schools. We dont need more empty buildings or county offices when we have kids who need a classroom.

Ridiculous that this sits empty while local schools are bursting at the seams. Fix it.
