+1. We don’t need it to afford private, but FCPS school board does not deserve our funding after this equity-based redistricting.

What equity-based redistricting?

When they move MC/UMC kids to schools that are high FARMS and high ELL in an attempt to cover up the fact that they are failing the kids at those schools. Adults don't know how to do their jobs to enact policy to improve individual learners so instead they move kids around so that the test scores and other benchmarks don't look as terrible on paper.

It’s actually the exact opposite that has happened repeatedly in FCPS for the past 15+ years, but you know that. God forbid they try to undo even a small part of the damage they’ve inflicted on schools like Annandale and Lewis.

+1

I’m confused- wasn’t most of the “damage” done by the zoning commission adding more apartments not in fact the school board?

DP. Several boundary changes moved wealthier, single-family homes out of Annandale and Lewis into Woodson and West Springfield, respectively. I think this is the type of change to which the previous poster is referring.

And don't forget the wealthier homes in Herndon being sent to langley.

Ha, looks like the SJW inadvertently finally figured out what causes property values to be high. 😂

DP. PP thinks that anyone who comments on how weird it is that single-family areas miles away from Langley in Herndon, Reston and Vienna get sent to Langley (while Langley has no apartments or condos in closer-in areas in Reston and Tysons) must be an "SJW" ("Social Justice Warrior").

They seem to be experimenting to find out just how far out they can keep sticking their neck before the School Board cuts it off and sends them back to Herndon. Much of western Great Falls was zoned to Herndon until the mid-1990s.

I experimented back in college. Today I contingency plan (very well I might add!) Sorry to ruin your SJW agenda.

Back to property values- why are those specific Herndon homes’ property values so high?

You're very odd. Constantly boasting about your contingency plans yet even more frequently complaining about boundary changes that haven't even been proposed yet and bashing other posters.

Are you sure you didn't experiment a little too much in college?

Just fighting for my community.

But I noticed you didn’t tell us why the property values of those Herndon addresses that go to Langley are so high.

Maybe it has to do with the school pyramid? Bring school pyramids down to the LCD and destroy the tax base. From what I keep hearing the reason our school system is in such a state is because we don’t have enough money. Decimating the tax rolls ain’t going to help that. The quicker the SB learns that, the less damage will be done- just not sure they are capable of exiting the echo chamber.

What they are considering now may take the effects of the last 15 years into account.

That’s why Hunt Valley heading to Lewis. But those two community members from HVES will surely throw WSES under the bus….been HVES’s plan all along.

Nope. HV and the rest of the WSHS elementaries dont want any changes. Or at least that’s our first choice. We dispute that the school is going to be as overcrowded as the CIP estimates suggest. We’re fine, please leave us alone.

I don’t buy this argument. While some home values will decrease, others will increase. So $ for Fairfax county remains the same.

You should go take an economics class then, and really think through the demand side of the equation.

Specifically, ask yourself how much those schools are going to be helped with farms decreasing by a relatively minimal percent. Further, ask yourself what happens when the county faces this same ridiculous exercise every five years.

Dems just like playing with other people’s money. Just wish they could be happy getting together and playing monopoly. That way no one would be hurt financially and kids might get a better education.
