A)Some schools are over capacity.
B)Some schools are under capacity.
Schools A and B share boundaries.
The end.

Maybe a school is over capacity because FCPS planning sucks and we have School Board members like Karl Frisch ignoring it while wasting tens of millions on an unnecessary new elementary school in Dunn Loring.

I want smarter planning and capital investments, not kids moved around like widgets to cover up their incompetence and inattention to detail.

This really is the major point.

FCPS isn't trusted to make good faith decisions, decisions ACTUALLY taken to benefit the students and community and based on accurate data. All appearances are that they will waste money budgeted for the system for the sake of advancing their political careers and make decisions for personal reasons rather than the good of the system.

If FCPS is so terrible, please move to another school district. I have heard fabulous reviews of Howard County Public Schools and Arlington Public Schools. Nobody is forcing you to stay in fcps.

So, you love FCPS so much and do not question anything they do? got it! I'm not the prior poster, but if you don't like our current president or governor, you are certainly free to leave. Same thing.

DP, but they are driving folks away, in droves. Downward spiral continues.

+1. Guess we're supposed to just shut and be quiet as the likes of Karl Frisch waste tens of millions on an unnecessary ES and a New Jersey consultant comes up with stupid proposals that create more problems that they solve. That's what the SB shills want - and you can be damn sure they are working behind the scenes to make sure THEY aren't impacted.

So, according to Zillow there are 91 active rental units under $2,500/month available in the McLean attendance island that they propose to move to Langley. That seems pretty affordable for any folks that want to buy into Langley.

That’s why we vote, or we can leave if we are not happy. We are lucky most countries will take US citizens in.
So far, I am OK with what fcps is doing. It’s not all great, but it will do. There are worse things.

I find it so brazen and telling that they don’t even pretend to care about minimizing disruption to students. At least include it among other priorities and/or as some sort of guiding principle. Instead, it’s buried in the community feedback. It’s a priority for the community but not the board. I find that incredibly disappointing.

DP. I was able to replicate this search and it appears that all the units under $2,500/month are studios and 1-bedroom. But I think PP's position is that, if Langley people are moved to Herndon, they'll just rent a unit in this area for the mailing address.

That aside, it looks like, if they move that island, Langley's enrollment would go up by over 9% with additional kids who live in apartments and condos. Kids from two-bedroom condos that sell for slightly over $400K would be new there.

Wow is attending Langley this big of a deal? Why not just spent those $2,500 a month on a private school?

I think 15:55 is indeed a Langley poster who has previously posted in the thread that an end-run around rezoning Forestville to Herndon is renting in the Tysons area that might get rezoned to Langley.

It's not like there are great private schools easily accessible from Great Falls.

Wait, so anyone rezoned to HHS from Langley just has to pay 2-2.5k per month for a rental in the pyramid to stay at Langley? It’s that easy to thwart this BS?

Does the same opportunity exist for the Lewis pyramid?
