you’re right! Do they have a meeting page, agenda or slides posted yet?

When and where is the BRAC meeting? Public can attend pursuant to FOIA, right?

What are other people getting.

We really could have used that western high school…

Tweedle Dee and tweedle dum out in force today. You want to set policy based on specific traffic incidents? Don’t waste our time.

So you are saying it is normally 10 minutes faster? Ok, so normally it’s:

I get 9 minutes Forestville ES to Herndon High and 19 minutes Forestville ES to Langley HS.

You would make an awesome lawyer. “Your honor, it is demonstrably false that my client was 4x over the legal limit while driving. That is a lie!!! The facts will show they were only 2x over the legal limit while driving.”

Hmm. All I hear is "Chantilly... Centreville... Chantilly... West Springfield... Lewis..." You hear what you want to hear, as usual.

You all are hilarious. Look at the thread. The post you are eye-rolling immediately follows 3 posts that specifically mention Langley. On that page, 5 of the 14 posts mention Langley. How many times is Lewis specifically mentioned on that page? Springfield? Chantilly?

When someone dared to call out the “Langley Brigade,” they are shouted down and given eye rolls: as if people can’t clearly see those prior posts, that try to make everything about Langley.

You hurt your credibility when you flood this board with posts that attempt to deny a reality that everyone sees and reads.

That was the point of the “echo chamber” remark: it is not always about Langley! There are other schools in this county! Why is a discussion about a much-needed expansion to Centreville flooded with 1 out of 3 posts focused on Langley, then folks deny that anyone is talking about Langley!?!?

Can we move on from Langley? This will be long, but it summarizes about 30% of this thread and the prior 480+ page thread.

Can’t we all just agree that some people on this board that are currently zoned to Forestville ES are advocating:

1) IB should end everywhere in the county, because that will end transfers out of Herndon to South Lakes, and “fix capacity shortfalls” at Herndon, so Forestville ES stays zoned to Langley.

2) AAP centers should be ended across the entire county because Herndon uses an out of pyramid AAP center, which results in principal placements out of Herndon High to maintain friend groups in high school that were formed in middle school at the AAP centers, and ending AAP centers will end principle placements out of Herndon, and “fix capacity shortfalls” at Herndon, so Forestville ES stays zoned to Langley.

3) The CIP should not be trusted, ever, and no other high school should expanded, because capacity is the enemy that may be used to shift Forestville ES to Herndon. Did you know that a FOIA request revealed that data used in the CIP proves that the entire CIP is all a terrible sham designed solely to move Forestville ES to Herndon? The entire county can just deal with the fact that there will never be a western high school. As one example, kids who currently live in Fairfax Villa and who are currently in ES don’t deserve to go to a newly renovated Centreville HS five years from now that is next door to their neighborhood. Instead, in five years, they should be bussed across town to Fairfax HS because otherwise we would have relied on the CIP plan and its projections, which may be used to shift Forestville ES to Herndon High, and can’t have that, can we? (BTW, the push against Centreville will also hurt Chantilly, Robinson, and Woodson, among others - but Forestville to Langley is all that matters, so suck it).

Is that everything? Did I get it all? Down with AAP, IB, and renovations in crowded pyramids that let kids attend the school right next door, because it might result in Forestville ES shifting to Langley? (Oh right, there was that “totally not about Langley #35 thing,” but we will consider that resolved by the private, in-person meeting with Reid).

Langley.

WOW. Tell us, are you this incensed about the pages and pages of posts discussing all of the other schools possibly being rezoned? Or is it just the one school that sends you into such irrational rage that you felt compelled to write an entire screed about it? Should we look forward to another rant about say, Willow Springs, Fairfax Villa, Centreville, Greenbriar East, WSF, Lewis, etc. etc.?? Get help - you truly need it.

+1. I’m always floored by the people who are okay using crappy projections so long as it supports their agenda. They can’t seem to understand that good projections are always going to produce better budgetary outcomes than flawed projections. I guess, in a way, they get what they deserve budget-wise.

I am always floored by people that buy a home with a Herndon address that is a less than 10 minute drive away from Herndon High that argue that they should not be rezoned to attend Herndon High because they chose their home based on a high school half an hour drive away.

Your hatred of your neighbors is showing again. (And you aren’t even close in your description).

I’m always fascinated by people like you who would cost the county hundreds of millions in unnecessary expansions just to go after a particular zip code. I didn’t think denying data and facts was a left wing thing, but you’ve proved that wrong.

Ok. Right now. Everyone google maps Forestville ES to Langley HS and Forestville ES to Herndon High.

We really could have used that western high school…

I’m seeing 20+ minutes from the McLean attendance island too, so I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

The point is that we really could have used that western high school and Centreville can use that expansion. Stop punching down on Willow Springs.

Your post is falling apart. Go check Google maps again. Herndon high traffic is creeping up, Langley down over five minutes. You can’t even play “gotcha” right.

No offense, but I have no clue what Willow Springs is. I couldn’t locate it in a map to save my life.

I’ve never advocated for/against either western or centreville in my life..

Right. We believe you. You arguments had no affect on the western high school at all. Like I said, you are doing collateral damage across the county and are coming across as obscenely holier-than-thou, entitled, and selfish. Knock it off. You are turning public sentiment against you.

Today is important because they are reviewing the split feeder scenarios which could really shake up Vienna and Oakton causing during domino effects throughout the county.

The meeting is tonight and if patterns follow, the slides will be publicly posted on Monday

I think it’s taking a turn. A house in my neighborhood has been on the market for 20 something days. Price dropped and still no takers.

Seeing the same in my area. The good houses get snapped up immediately with a bidding war, of course, as it always was. But the below average homes used to sell quickly too, but now they’re sitting, even with price drops.

Guess my neighborhood is only good homes then. They are all pending after the first weekend and end up closing over the crazy high list. One just went up for higher than any house I've ever seen in the neighborhood. It will be interesting to see if it sells this weekend (or sooner).

Oh, you must live within half a mile of each of your elementary, middle, and high schools then. The equity warriors have told us you can avoid getting redistricted by moving to one of these Bermuda triangles. Either that or you live near a school board member’s kids, because we all know they’d never take their own medicine.

Boom. Roasted.

One neighbor has listed her home this weekend because of the school rezoning. I think it’s a bit unhinged considering the final maps aren’t out and have mentioned waiting until 5/5 but they can’t take the ambiguity. From my previous Falls Church neighborhood, I know at least one family already listed and is already under contract because of where the Graham Road impact hit. Will be interesting to watch the market post the final releases.

BRAC meets today for split feeders and next Monday for capacity. Once those maps are out and they gather community feedback, I hope they wouldn’t adjust anything that doesn’t have community engagement even later.

This. Oakton and Vienna families should scrutinize the next set of maps/slides. The Waples PTA emailed families about this. Parents should be ready to call and email school board members with feedback.
