Pressure mounts for replacement school; officials make no decision

Pressure is mounting on the Manassas City School Board to build a replacement for the 64-year-old Jennie Dean Elementary School. Manassas City Councilman Mark Wolfe said the governing body increased taxes on homeowners for years to provide the school building with about $60 million needed.

Today, construction on the school has yet to begin, and the school division has shifted its focus and wants to purchase 8700 Centreville Road, the largest office building in the city, to house its central office, as well as serve as a landlord to existing office tenants like Apple Federal Credit Union.
