We knew when we bought our house that the boundaries would never change because of distance. Unfortunately the highly rated pyramid doesn’t mean a good fcps experience. So going to a different school doesn’t seem to have the impact you want

Who told you the boundaries would never change? lol you were lied to. The experience must be equal and that means allowing families to choose which schools they think are best.

I think pp is saying they live close to the high school. People who live within a mile of a high school never get moved. Feel free to point out an example where I'm wrong, but I don't think we need to lol at the previous poster without knowing where they live.

Just because that’s always how it worked doesn’t mean it won’t change. Abolish Boundary maps could easily form a grass roots movement and start calling people with power.

The Democrats just regained power in the state. They wouldn’t fritter it away so quickly by doing something so unpopular in the state’s largest jurisdiction.

This is a bipartisan effort.

Not going to happen. I suspect this is a trool thread to get people upset.

Who said you have the right to hoard wealth in home values?

The people make a community.

In this case the entire county should be an equal community.

The entire county doesn't fit in one school.

Abolish FCPS. Too big, break it up.

The person who posted this is one of the two equity warriors who posts all the time here to argue for boundary changes. She seems to have lost in her attempt to move other people’s kids to her kids’ school, so now she’s left arguing nonsense.

So sad. Take pity on the person who is so lazy that she resorts to fantasies that moving other kids will someone compensate for her being checked out as a parent.

Not everyone can afford to drive their children to/from a distant school.

FCPS barely is able to deliver short local school bus trips taking students to/from their nearby school. There is no chance that FCPS could get a boundary-less student population to/from school.

In short, logistics.

This I agree with. Pool all the money so rich continue to subsidize poor, but break it into several separate school systems. And cut half the staff at Gatehouse.

Schools have capacity constraints. If a school has now demand than capacity, how to determine who gets in?

If the answer is lottery (ie randomness), them you could have a scenario where some kid 45 minutes away gets in and another kid across the street from the school does not.

You would also have scenario where kids in the same neighborhoods couldn't go to school together.

If this lottery is held annually, than students could be subject to new schools every year.

Who’s talking about hoarding? People in good zones spent a lot on their house. Why in the world would they support something that would decimate that initial investment?

You invested in FCPS, nothing more, nothing less. You’re not entitled to a certain school as all schools will soon become equal with attendance boundaries are abolished.

This is the most transparent trolling on this sub-forum in a long time.

It's so far removed from how the Democratic-controlled School Boards have behaved in Fairfax over the past 20 years as to warrant only a quick chuckle and immediate dismissal.

This is a wild proposal even by DCUM standards.

It’s bipartisan. Conservatives will support less government involvement in telling you kid where to go to school.

You tank your top 3. Kids in the same neighborhood don’t have to go to the same school, but they can make the same requests.
