NO. No one knows anything and this entire thread is speculative. There are a few posters who seem to love getting everyone riled up with their hypotheticals, but they don't know anything more than the rest of us. Best to just ignore them.

Are you including the Langley posters who keep coming up with hypotheticals to move anyone but Langley kids into Herndon? They’ve been quite active here.

I'm including anyone and everyone who keeps throwing out hypotheticals of any kind - to include all of the posters who don't even have kids at Langley but feel entitled to opine about where those kids should be moved.

Tell your neighbors to pipe down then. There’s no group that spends more time trying to map out boundary changes that would move kids at other schools, but not their schools, than Langley parents.

F off. No one in the Langley pyramid wants ANY kids moved. We just want you to stop pushing to move our kids when there is no justification for it.

You’re obsessed with Langley for some reason. Get over it.

No justification 🤣🤣🤣did you forget the part where there is a highschool 3 miles away instead of 12. You just don't like the justifications. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

New Year, same drivel from the equity warriors.

Lolllllllllll.....i don't think equity means what you think it means.
Laughable how some folks try to use one word to scare away people when presented with sound and reasonable arguments.

The only type of “equity” some of these folks acknowledge as legitimate is the equity in their homes. They treat any other notion of equity or fairness as an obscenity.

I believe strongly in equality. That’s how I was raised, and I believe most people, even most democrats, believe strongly in those principles over equity. I also think that the left is hemorrhaging votes based on its insistence on equity over equality.

Attention friends! Do you need equity versus equality explained to you?!

Your take isn't as great as you think it is.

I’ve seen that before, I just don’t believe that society should be picking winners and losers that way.

I spoke intentionally and with understanding of what I was saying, but you’ve never really been interested in a dialogue.

I’m fairly confident most people reject that worldview. But don’t take my word for it, just look back to November. Dems are bleeding support from almost every cross section. That’s not by accident.

In the interest of dialogue...i too used to think like you. Then people/situations kind of opened my eyes to the fact that not everybody experiences life in the same way because everybody is starting at different points.

This can easily be related to the school scenarios by comparing and contrasting different resources students are offered in different pyramids.

Oh, its.not "picking a winner and loser" but rather leveling the playing field. I'd encourage you to read the meaning behind the graphic.

Again, school age population in decline, test scores and school ratings down across the board. The whole boundary study is designed to get parents fighting with one another, and it is working, to keep eyes of the horrendous job the administration and school board in managing FCPS.

Wake up people. There is no need for this study. Make Reid and the SB focus on and fix the real problems.

Agreed, this fixes no problems but creates many.

They aren’t even sticking to their supposed transparency and open dialogue principles with the half hand-picked BRAC making decisions in secret.

My definition of secret is not allowing the public to attend the meetings, nor recording them. Them giving us the agenda and printouts is nowhere close to adequate disclosure.

As has been discussed many times in this thread, the overall school age population is in decline but the school age population in certain areas is increasing and forecasted to increase significantly in the near future.

FCPS Development Projections
https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/08eca5b417f94ca09dc6c384db28c764/

Anticipated additional students from housing developments currently under construction (considered in CIP):

Langley HS: 0
Falls Church HS: 31
Fairfax HS: 118
Marshall HS: 1,106
McLean HS: 1,057

Anticipated additional students from housing in pending and previously approved developments:

Langley HS: 2
Falls Church HS: 166
Fairfax HS: 431
Marshall HS: 2,599
McLean HS: 2,274

Looking at the pending and approved development with nearly 5,000 new high school students in Tysons and the surrounding areas, it is hard for me to see how Langley can continue to service Herndon much less Great Falls without a new HS, which seems implausible with the land values as they are in Tysons and McLean.

Ooh, now do Herndon. Google Fairbrook, TRG, HTOC.

It’s not 5,000 high school students, it’s 5,000 students across elementary, middle, and high school. There are other schools besides Langley that can offer relief (Madison and Falls Church HS) so the situation is that dire.
