Doesn’t Herndon have like 500 empty seats now? I wonder what justification was given when they decided to expand it so much. |

Yep. Whether intended or not, they really are picking winners and losers and only reinforcing many current disparities. |

A few days ago there was at least one “egalitarian” Langley poster who claimed they would fight for others even if they were not moved.
Well… |

It sounds like they couldn’t have showed up to the meeting less prepared. |

It looks like Emerald Chase (and that sliver of Bradley Farm adjacent to Emerald Chase) would be Fox Mill/Carson/South Lakes |

No one's gloating, you twit. If anything, people like you were pre-gloating, in anticipation of moving Forestville, even though there was zero need to do so. Now that you realize it isn't happening, you're even more unhinged than usual. Take your complaints to the SB. Organize and speak up. Stop calling other communities names when they do exactly that and stop whining when you refuse to fight back. |

There is no need to rezone students from Langley as Langley is not over capacity (even with absorbing McLean’s overcapacity). The families from Langley have made it clear that they don’t want to break up the school. Parents all bought houses zoned for Langley knowing how long the commute would be. Reid and the School Board also know that their plans to lower the FARMS rate at Herndon by transferring Langley students (their original plan) won’t go over well with parents/lawyers in the community. See below for the study the school board used for their “idea” for boundary changes to change the poverty levels of schools by adding more wealthy students: FCPS Socio-economic Tipping Point of Elementary Schools https://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/9DG4KP71B0DB/$file/fcps_tipping-point.pdf “FCPS could consider reducing the level of poverty at schools that have demonstrated persistent achievement challenges despite other efforts. More specifically, the following is a list of potential opportunities for considering reductions in school poverty: New schools: Assigning students to new schools may be considered towards the goal of balancing or minimizing the level of overall school poverty as much as reasonably possible at the new school and nearby schools. Special academic programs at school sites: Higher poverty schools may be considered as host sites for programs that traditionally attract higher socio-economic populations to draw voluntarily a broader economic population of students. Under- or over-filled schools: When student membership at schools considerably exceeds or falls short of expected levels, explore the opportunity for moving students with the goal of maximizing the number of schools with poverty levels below 20 percent. New neighborhood construction: Work with county agencies that influence socio-economic integration of neighborhoods to create natural distributions of socio-economic levels.” |

The Sangster island going to SoCo will no longer be a Sangster zoned neighborhood. They will be zoned to Newington Forest. |

I'm not that poster but I totally agree with the sentiment. Who do you think started FairFacts? You know, the group that was constantly mocked by people like you? That group is for *everyone* in FCPS. Maybe you should consider joining them and utilizing their resources instead of sniping at all their efforts. |

Also, it's pretty amusing that now you expect a community you've spent months (probably years) deriding to come in and fight for you. |

Anderson has not been a good school board rep for West Springfield neighborhoods. |

+100 Thank you for posting this. How disgusting that they were planning on social engineering as a (misguided) way to improve schools. You'd think the very first thing they would do is work on improving the failing schools themselves, rather than importing wealthier kids to raise test scores. FIX THE SCHOOLS, FCPS. What a bunch of morons. |

That was me. And I would like to push back against FCPS on behalf of any students and families who are being moved against their will. To that end, which areas are getting a raw deal here? |

| Now they need to do away with AAP centers and IB. |

So HV families should question the creation of a new split feeder when they were aiming to get rid of them? |
