Well, this statement intrigued me, so I googled and found the GFCA webinar with Robyn Lady. I heard nothing disparaging. I did hear lots of concerns about the shift, but not like that.

At one point, Robyn Lady brought up the demographics as the reason the school is rated lower. Someone did ask about the safety stats. The moderator mentioned (I am paraphrasing) that they might consider addressing that issue before shifting kids.
I've stated on this thread before that I have never heard anyone address fixing the problem at the struggling schools rather than covering it up with higher SES scoring kids.

Lady also mentioned that the teachers prefer teaching upper level classes. I did not hear anyone ask a question about how the school plans to staff the schools that get more kids as a result of boundary lines. (Teachers generally do not like being reassigned against their will.)

What about the insulting question "Does Herndon even meet the minimal requirements to offer AP courses"? Like really?

DP.

Oh my vapors.

You have boundary change proponents on here spewing racial slurs like they’re back in the 50s, but you’re upset at that question? Such transparently faux outrage.

The “boundary change proponents“ aren’t spewing racial slurs. In some instances they are ascribing views to Langley posters based on their past conduct and statements.

You aren’t fooling anyone, including the School Board, by suggesting otherwise. They know very well by now what you’re all about.

DP. But that is false, and everyone knows this. Langley posters aren't making racist statements, you are simply fabricating this (lying) to further your narrative. All we've said is that we do not want to switch schools. There is nothing at all racist about wanting to remain at a school rather than change. There's also nothing racist about comparing the test scores at both schools. It's people like you who are determined to make this into a racial issue when it is not.

You’ve not coughed up one statement from anyone. You’re just making crap up. Have you ever heard of libel laws?

Honestly, the Langley-haters are just making themselves look worse and worse.

Right? I think it’s because they think best argument is to cast certain Fairfax families as the enemy and trying to put words in our mouths.

It really is getting pretty darn close to libel.

Try not to be so dopey. You can’t point to anyone who was libeled and truth is a defense in any event.

You Langley folks really are insufferable.

The Langley posters regularly accuse the School Board of being an echo chamber yet they are the biggest echo chamber of all.

So, any bets about how much the Langley projections will decrease in the upcoming CIP?

My over under is that the five year projection for Langley comes in around 88%/89% or 96% if absorbing the McLean attendance island.

Back of the envelope math, but we’ll see pretty soon how close to accurate that is.

Assuming it comes out on schedule the next CIP won’t say anything about the effect of a boundary change that hadn’t yet been decided.

What’s the comparison with kids of similar race? How are the white kids scores at Herndon? Asian?

It isn’t as simple as looking at overall scores and data.

Since you're obsessed with race, here ya go. You can look up scores from any FCPS school using this site:

Looks like white kids do well at Herndon, according to the VDOE site. Similar to Langley.

And why shouldn’t a parent focus on race? It is another factor when thinking about an environment.

I think is misguided, but I guess no objection from me if you want to focus on race. I was raised to believe in the fundamental principles of MLK to worry about content of one’s character, not skin color, but it seems that you disagree.

it is particularly pernicious for posters to outright lie by repeatedly claiming without evidence that Langley families are racist or posting racist things, when in reality it’s the exact opposite.
