Great Falls residents aren't very used to seeing Detroit held out as a useful model for their community.

If he is just pointing out what we all know— that it’s democrats who oppose school choice, favor “surging” to the border and on the county level are the ones who began working on boundary policy with an “equal outcomes for all” aim, he’s not wrong.

That group is free to prioritize other school board values like standards-based grading (another policy designed to make outcomes equal), graphic books in school libraries and boys who feel like a girl today having access to spaces meant for females OVER and above keeping their community school.

What goes on in schools is way more important than which child/neighborhood goes to which building.

In the end, most of them are democrats and will come around to the school board’s way of thinking. You’ll see.

Here’s where we will see if the rich 🤑 liberals of Great Falls really have enough money to exit the school system.

They are reacting like the rich liberals of Martha’s Vineyard when the poor brown illegals whose arrival to America they supported actually showed up in their town.
They pouted and protested and paid good money to send them away (after they gave them some sandwiches and iced tea)

What about it, Great Falls? You have enough to buy your way out of the “problem” you helped create?

It doesn’t take Martha’s Vineyard money to rent an apartment in a different school district for a few years. In fact most of us paid more in daycare for our kids than that would cost.

It’ll crowd out other families who need that housing, but that’s the law of unintended consequences.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Where are the apartments in Langley’s district?

None yet, but that will change.

Pp swearing 100s of families are going to rent apartments to stay at Langley is pretty funny.

Well, for the mathematically challenged SJW, you just said that apartments will get moved to Langley. Unless they are apartments that are designated affordable housing, those will rent out somewhere around 2,000-2,500 per apartment. That’s 24,000 to 30,000 per year. Not a small amount of money, but less than 50-60k for elite private, and no application required.

Now, what will happen? Rents will go up pricing some LMC families out of the market and even if they don’t, these families would have to compete for those houses against Great Falls neighbors with likely higher income and credit scores. It’s no question who will get rented to. (No not because the landlords are racist, it’s just that a 750+ credit score and 200,000 per year beats 650+ and 50,000.

In summary, 24k - 30k will buy you entry into any public school that’s drivable, not even just Langley! Will everyone go this route? Surely not. But you are underestimating the willingness to pay 25k/30k for a desired school situation.

Nope. Once boundaries are changed from elementary to high school with the promise that they will be redone every five years, those people who can spare the extra tens of thousands will co op homeschool and go private.
Langley Madison Oakton McLean all the schools will be entirely new.

Renting makes sense if the boundary change is small and stable. Renting after a massive boundary change that entirely recomposes a school and that will change every few years is dumb (unless you are just really attached to the building itself).

And don’t think that the school board won’t be conducting residency checks if a school is suddenly overcrowded. Especially for Great Falls and McLean, who we all know they have deep affection for.

You think hundreds will actually rent, furnish and live in a 1,000 sq ft apartment Monday through Friday rather than stay comfortable in a 5,000 sq foot house with a backyard fire pit a short drive from Riverbend and send their kids private (or for the littles join up with other parents for co-ops)?

Nope.

Look at Langley on the map, there’s only so many farms kids that they can bring in.

Also, who said anything about living full time in those apartments?

If they move the Marshall/Langley line such that Langley now has the lower income apartments currently being built at The Exchange, but not other apartment buildings, there will not be any apartments for those families to rent inside of Langley’s district.

The Exchange is currently zoned to Westbriar/Kilmer/Marshall.

Marshall is somewhat overcrowded, but not like McLean, and Westbriar also has an attendance island in western Vienna near Reston.

If they prioritize what they are claiming to prioritize, they'd eliminate the Westbriar island, in which case it wouldn't make sense to move the Exchange out of Westbriar to Spring Hill, which already has an expanding enrollment. On the other hand, it might make sense to move the Longfellow/McLean part of Spring Hill (other Tysons apartments and condos on the other side of Route 7 from the Exchange) to Cooper/Langley to alleviate the overcrowding at McLean. Those are the apartments the Langley poster is suggesting would be purchased or rented by some seeking to avoid reassignment to Herndon.

This is the state of our country: when the "haves" stand to have things taken away from them to lessen their position, the default reaction should be that it's justified. When the "have nots" stand to not freely receive things to improve their position, the default reaction should be that it's not justified.

We are living in a time period that hundreds of years from now will be known as the start of the decline of the USA.

Some bend rules to get the perceived advantage of a certain school.

Some break laws to get the advantages of a certain country.

Hey Herndon mom, what do you think about the football players exploiting the rules to attend Hayfield while living in PWC? Does it bother you, or is it okay because they are minorities and not high SES?

OK, sure. I'll take Langley over the school with active MS-13 recruitment and 10-100x the safety issues, thanks. And so would literally everyone else who cares about their kids.

If you’re a Hispanic family from Central America that somehow found your way into an expensive SFH in western Great Falls, OK.

Otherwise I don’t think MS-13 spends any time recruiting UMC White and Asian kids (and that’s the demographic hyper-ventilating the most about getting moved to HHS). You aren’t worried about your kids; you’re worried about your property values declining if you’re redistricted out of a school with virtually no poor kids and higher average test scores.

Herndon mom here. Not sure what you are talking about. I would say 70% of football team is White. Many play multiple sports as well. Our Hispanic community does not /cannot participate in athletics as much as the White kids.

Makes no sense. Some of Westbriar is slated for Madison. Maybe they would have part of Vienna (Wolftrap) that goes to Marshall go to Madison? Which is would increase the number of FARMS at Marshall but I doubt the SB cares.

Yup, if that’s the choice it’s an easy one. And any current Langley parent with a little extra time and money is going to enroll their child in such a school just because the violence goes down a little in a boundary change.

Dear Lord! Have any of your stepped foot at Herndon during the school day? It is not overrun with gang activity. The main complaint these past years, has been vaping in the bathrooms. Seems a common issue throughout fcps.

+1 UMC kids don’t join MS-13. Thinking their rich kid would be recruited to a gang is laughable beyond belief.

The area where the Exchange is getting built is on the Vienna side of Tysons in the contiguous part of the Westbriar boundary, as opposed to the Westbriar attendance island.

Not sure what doesn’t make sense to you. Both Westbriar and Wolftrap are currently split feeders to Marshall and Madison. Maybe they make all of Westbriar (minus the reassigned attendance island) feed to Marshall and all of Wolftrap feed to Madison at some point.

It’s not just about being recruited! It’s not about that at all. It’s that people understandably don’t want their kids even exposed to gang activity and gang members. And the safety and security stats were already posted and the best people could do was ububububu kids doing drugs at Langley!!!!!!11

Westbriar and Wolftrap both contain portions of the Town of Vienna. I wonder if they’ll redraw the boundaries between Westbriar and Wolftrap so that Wolftrap takes all of TOV and feeds into Madison and Westbriar takes all the Marshall kids. That also makes Westbriar contiguous with its attendance island.

The most insane part of this whole thing is that certain folks don’t understand the desire of some parents to avoid gang activity.
