What Is Happpening at Spring Hill?

[Anonymous]

I keep hearing discussions that Spring Hill parents are claiming that all the Tysons development will feed into Spring Hill and that those areas need to be rezoned to McLean and Marshall ES feeders.

Why are they saying this when large parts of Tysons are zoned for Westbriar and Westgate? I know Spring Hill is already a big school but Tysons growth ought to be spread among the Langley, McLean and Marshall pyramids. If anything, more of Tysons ought to be rezoned for Cooper and Langley.

Exactly. The more they fight apartments in their school boundary, the more people will fight for an entire redistricting.

Large parts of Tysons are already zoned for Mclean and Marshall. What parts are zoned for Spring Hill/Cooper/Langley?

None of Tysons is zoned for Spring Hill/Cooper/Langley. Parts of Tysons is zoned for Spring Hill/Longfellow/McLean, while other parts are zoned for Westbriar/Kilmer/Marshall, Westgate/Kilmer/Marshall, and Westgate/Longfellow/McLean. But what's happening is that, as more apartments are built in Tysons, the Spring Hill/Cooper/Langley parents are complaining that "all" of Tysons is zoned to Spring Hill, and that it's "unfair," and now they have Janie Strauss repeating this lie at board meetings.

If they don't like Spring Hill getting bigger, they should ask to be redistricted to other schools in the Langley pyramid. But, instead, they are clamoring to get the apartments now at Spring Hill moved to other elementary schools.

They should make schools that are only zoned for single family houses and put all the apartments in Marshall zones because those types are already there

Progressives on the SB want so badly to blow up Langley zone - especially for deep red Great Falls.

There's no reason not to do so, when apartment in Tysons could be reassigned to Langley and would be closer to Langley than parts of Great Falls currently zoned to Langley.

The agenda of some Langley parents is to preemptively try to get those apartments rezoned to elementary schools that, unlike Spring Hill, don't send any kids to Langley and then cherry-pick other single-family neighborhoods zoned for Marshall and McLean to shore up the enrollments at Cooper and Langley.

Langley's ratings have been plummeting. Not long a go Langley was #2, now it's #6 , this would throw it below top 10.

I'm hoping the school board is thinking more long term than just a one year's rating that is probably off to begin with.

Langley parent here. I think you all are projecting just a bit. Neither I nor any other Langley parents I know would care one way or the other if apartments in and around Tysons were rezoned to Langley. I think many of you like to imagine the Langley community as being this monolithic group, vastly opposed to any rezoning, when in reality, that's simply not the case.

If you have issues with the way in which these areas are zoned, take it up with the SB. Don't smear the Langley community for something we have no control over.

Nice effort to spin, but the majority of the Spring Hill parents agitating to get apartments zoned out of Spring Hill are zoned for Langley. If you want Langley to be viewed more favorably, you should let the School Board know that under-enrolled Cooper and Langley will gladly welcome students from Tysons.

So, by "majority" you mean you and your friends or "everyone" you know? Not very convincing.
