When FCPS announced that it had bought the King Abdullah Academy, the most critical posts ALL came from Langley/Great Falls parents. She can claim they were just asking about the process or the funding, but the reality is that they'd prefer FCPS not acquire this property.

Why? Because it increases the likelihood that, at some future point, Langley kids will get moved to Herndon. Thru Consulting is proposing to move an attendance island in Tysons that attends Spring Hill ES (primarily a Langley feeder) from McLean to Langley, and that will probably happen. The county's Residential Property Applications Dashboard projects that, over time, that island could yield an additional 475 or so more high school students. If even half that growth materilalizes, Langley ends up overcrowded.

Meanwhile, you have renovated Herndon sitting with hundreds of empty seats. One potential source of students to fill those seats were kids who now stand to attend the new high school. If they attend the new HS instead, this makes it all the more likely FCPS will look to fill some of those seats with Forestville kids. There's no need for this to happen now, and other things could happen in the interim if, for example, there was somehow enough growth within Herndon to fill those seats or FCPS decided to get rid of IB and hundreds of kids at Herndon who've been transferring to South Lakes returned there.

But the KAA acquisition changes the dynamics in a way some Great Falls families find unsettling, and that's why they are the ones leading the charge to challenge the purchase. If the serial Langley poster thinks that puts Langley in a bad light, she should tell them to pipe down. At this point, she's the one trying to make fetch happen.

Bless your HEART! You are just trying so, so hard, I can practically see the nervous sweat through the screen. And who is the “serial Langley poster”? You just sound completely unhinged. And I don’t even live in the area you’re obsessed with. The only think I find “unsettling” is someone who *also* doesn’t live there, yet is so deeply anxious about where those kids go to school.

Face it: the focus is on the new KAA school and those boundaries. No one cares about Langley/Forestville - just you. Why? Because there is no issue that needs resolving there. Be well.

PP’s post makes sense. Obviously the Langley/Forestville people care about the KAA school or they wouldn’t anxiously be posting on Next Door or getting their break-away citizens group to put out a “press release.”

You, on the other hand, sound totally unhinged.

You mean the one lady who has been ranting about the funding issue on ND? Yeah, she doesn't represent anyone but herself. Enjoy the KAA school and maybe try to stop picking fights with people.

DP. She’s one of the designees of FAIRFacts Matters, a group founded by Langley/Great Falls parents, on the BRAC. I know you’re willing to throw other people from GF under a bus, but at least try to know what you’re talking about.

I don't think most of us want to throw them under the bus--but it is pretty clear some of her acolytes have posted here. I've always understood wanting to stay put and felt the boundary study was a terrible idea. But, since the KAA opportunity has come up, I have hopes that this area will have more stabilty.
