They posted the 5/15 draft after the meeting today and it looks close to final. Probably up for a vote soon.

What do you think will happen after it is finalized?

As the dranesville rep Robyn lady said in her newsletter last week. Once (Not if) they approve it, they will operationalize it. She and Kyle McDaniel and most of the board are going to try to equitize the county.

If you like your current school pyramid, now might be a good time to reach out to your rep to let them know your thoughts. McDaniel said he wants to move quickly to redistrict (probably to try to avoid making immensely unpopular changes in an election year).

They still have a work session planned for later this month on the boundary policy scheduled to take up most of the day. It might help to have a healthy number of observers in attendance.

I just hope they do something with the document that they’ve invested so much time on. And that future boards stay on top of adjusting as needed rather than kicking things down the road. If previous boards had done their jobs properly, then the noise from the LWNJ and RWNJ on this thread would be more muted.

If the SB does nothing now, they are suppressing the underprivileged. If the SB rebalances schools now, they are doing it for some equity purpose.

So glad my kids are finally done with this nonsense.

All they need is some common sense. The only school really needing an adjustment is Lewis, and changing the boundary should only happen, if at all, after they’ve made a sustained effort to improve academics and reduce out-placements there.

They want to throw kids at schools to cover up problems that are the result of their predecessors’ actions and inaction.

Between countywide redistricting, drag show plays, teaching elementary kids that gender is a spectrum, restorative justice, and skills-based grading, I'm beginning to think the school board is secretly working for the Fairfax County GOP fundraising committee.

“Suppressing the underprivileged”? What a hyperbolic statement to make. And implicit in that statement is some fanciful thinking that redistricting is somehow a panacea for the underprivileged.

All Lewis kids need is another WS kid at their school. That didn’t work? Add another, and another. I don’t know why Robyn Lady and Kyle McDaniel believe it is acceptable to take so much from one kid for the mere slight possibility of marginally helping another. And before you lay into me about how this wouldn’t hurt these kids, I invite you to go look at the Herndon High thread, where some poster believes that the only way to fix the problems with the principal and school board and general horrible situation at the school is to bring in the Forestville kids.

I am PP ans a Herndon high parent. Redistricting is the least of your worries. Trust me. If not for the SBG nonsense this year, your kids would do more than fine there. Just wait. You will see.

No thanks. I’ll pass. Not interested in subjecting my kids to the uncertainty based on the assurances of anonymous message board poster.

Thank you. Robyn Lady also mentioned May 20 as a date that they are discussing the draft. Gotta love when you have to start taking days off of work to deal with this trash.

This isn’t true. Many schools need enrollment adjustments. Overcrowded schools don’t need to be next to under capacity ones.
