Any updates on Mclean/Langley possible redistricting?

The election is over, which doesn't change the fact that she agreed with a man who said that upper income white kids are the cream of the crop, parents pupil place their kids into Langley for racist reasons, and she will bring her values (such as balancing immigrant and non-immigrant populations in schools--so I guess we'll be getting questionnaires about our immigration staus if she has her way) so that it can all be fixed.

Yes, we’ve heard this complaint from you many times before. Maybe you can start another thread if you really think they need to be aired again. It certainly won’t get anyone closer to a long-term solution that is equitable to both McLean and Langley.

I don’t understand what the pp is saying. Balance schools based on immigration status?

There are a lot of Asian immigrants in McLean.

Again, PP is referring back to an interview of Omeish on “Reston Impact,” a local cable show, in 2019, where an old white interviewer from Reston complained about Langley’s boundaries and, in particular, the fact that some upper-income pockets of Herndon and Reston with kids are assigned to Langley. He called those kids “the cream of the crop” and also called Langley “lily white.” Omeish didn’t challenge his statements and responded, in part, by stating that the School Board should be more cognizant of demographic imbalances, including the number of immigrant families, at various schools. She also agreed with the suggestion that some kids pupil place to avoid certain schools, and said she welcomed a discussion about prioritizing equity when considering boundary changes.

The interviewer from Reston also alluded to the overcrowding at McLean, which he opined “has some diversity,” and the under-enrollment at Langley, which he asserted has “no diversity.” Omeish acknowledged some McLean families were upset with the overcrowding, but beyond that didn’t really comment on what she’d favor when it came to boundary adjustments involving either school.

The guy clearly had a major bone to pick with Langley, and she didn’t challenge his most inaccurate comments. But the comments that really seem to bother PP came out of the mouth of the Reston dude, not Omeish. But I think PP has other issues with Omeish besides her views about boundaries, which PP will probably not come out and admit.

If you don't think this is an issue with the Langley/McLean adjustment, you are pretty naive. Why do you think they didn't send McLean kids to Langley before now?

I am not naive.

However, if you want to play the blame game, you should start with Jeff Platenberg and Karen Corbett Sanders, with the acquiescence of sleepy Janie Strauss, not Abrar Omeish.

Or, we could just focus on what now needs to be done.

Well I always knew some people think smiling at racism is cool.

I’m sure you would have handled yourself so much better.
