Not connecting the dots. What happened?

It's good. This is veering far from OP's initial question, but it doesn't hurt to have elected officials in the neighborhood.

When Kathy Smith was on the School Board (she is now Sully Supervisor), she had a lower income neighborhood sent to Poplar Tree in order to get Full Day Kindergarten for her neighbors. At that time, K was only half day for many schools, but those with a cohort of poorer kids received Full Day K.
Then, a year or so later, the SB voted to have Full Day K in all schools. In a timely boundary adjustment, Kathy sent the poorer kids to another elementary school that was not in her neighborhood.

Wow, that's awful.

This makes sense. My kids attend this school and there's definitely a tinge of racism at this school. You'll notice a huge divide between white and minority students there. The white students are definitely favored and given more opportunities. I agree with the bullying as well. Lots of name calling and looking down at the kids that live in the "smaller" (cabells mill) houses.

This makes me sad to hear although it hasn't been our experience. My child is in the AAP program and the class is very, very diverse.

NP but we didn't look at Poplar Tree because it's too white. There are better, more diverse schools elsewhere in Chantilly.

Ha! Wow. Would you dare say a school is too black? Hispanic? Asian.. etc? Racist much?

I'm so tired of white people calling POC racist. You sound so stupid.

Doesn't PT have a really large South Asian community? Surprised to hear it referred to as "too white."

Asians are even less desirable than whites for diversity purposes.

And your explanation for "NP but we didn't look at Poplar Tree because it's too white. There are better, more diverse schools elsewhere in Chantilly." is?

My kids are in orchestra and band, and both concerts were this week. It is a very diverse school in terms of Indian, Asian, white. Far fewer Hispanic and Black from my observations at the events.

Sounded to me like it came from the same person who said it was "too white."

You win the ignorance award.

Have you looked in the Lees Corner ES boundary? That’s a great school, and close to the Poplar Tree area (other side of Rt. 50).
