Right now a parent is railing against adding Rolling Valley to WSHS ...Oh, and add a 4th spilt feeder they did not fix (so they fixed zero split feeders). They did close one attendance island. |
Interesting. |
The Thru consultant looked annoyed at her and basically blew her off, cause she spitballed a number of kids that could go to WSHS from those 200 townhomes. The consultant didn't answer why they added that neighborhood to WSHS. |
It does sound like Scenario 4 is just a map that represents feedback from the BRAC. It doesn't represent the views of FCPS staff. So that's pretty concerning. |
That was a special request from the Springfield school board rep. She has been talking about swapping Rolling Valley with one of the other WSHS neighborhoods since the boundary process began. |
It was priority 7 from Region 6. |
It was a BRAC request from Lewis: https://www.fcps.edu/system/files/forms/2025-09/advisory_priority_analysis_-_region_6_9-8_update_epg1_0.pdf |
So they ignored priorities 1-6 and went with this one? Wow, okay. |
No. I’m pretty sure they incorporated those too. |
This was recommendation number 6: "Adjust boundaries to increase enrollment at Lewis to address overcrowding. Community members pointed out that Lewis is underutilized and suggested that boundaries be adjusted to better utilize Lewis and increase socioeconomic diversity." |
Apologies, they seemed to have incorporated all of the specific changes. If Lewis had listed specific neighborhoods they wanted, THRU probably would have given them to them. |
Lewis families must be furious |
Especially the Rolling Valley houses getting sent to Saratoga, while the other group gets sent to WSHS |
Yes. Lewis was systematically ignored. |
It needs to be closed |
