Because some kids will be moved out of WSHS. And some neighborhoods are looking at moving to South County or Lewis. And this neighborhood is looking at LBSS and keeping that whole neighborhood together. There will be a fight.

Well said.

Sending all of Sangster to Lake Braddock keeps all those kids in their community. Lake Braddock and WSHS are very connected as a community. It also eliminates a split feeder.

The other options move schools completely out of their community. Daventry to Lewis creates a split feeder. Hunt Valley to South County creates a split feeder as well as pushing South County over capacity.

I don't think anyone realizes this moves less than 90ish kids out of Irving/WSHS. This won't solve anywhere near the issue of overcrowding alone. Something else bigger has to give.

I'm a sangster parent and am all for erasing the split feeder. I don't want part of my kids social group to dissappear in middle school and would love stability for all kids.

My kid went through Sangster and finished in the WSHS pyramid after 6th grade.

This is exactly how all the parents felt about the split feeder. They wanted to keep their Sangster community together, with everyone going to Lake Braddock. The way it is now, only the AAP kids frim that neighborhood get to go to Lake Braddock.

No offense to WSHS (it's a great school) but I am shocked that the Sangster parents of the little kids are fighting this. We would have rejoiced if they has proposed this a few years back so our kids could retain their community and go with all the other Sangster kids to Lake Braddock. The Sangster split feeder really highlights the difference between options for the AAP kids who get to keep their Sangster friends and go to LB, vs the non AAP kids who had to separate from their friends and go to Irving.

The pushback does not make sense, especially since they are using keeping their friends together as the reason to fight. All their friends will go to Lake Braddock with them.

I think you are missing the point. They are saying that LB is NOT their community. They live in West Springfield.

It's not though. Maybe all Sangster kids should be rezoned for WS (let's say LB was the school that was overcrowded). How would you feel if that happened?

Yes to this! This process has completely pinned neighborhoods against each other. Maybe this is exactly what FCPS wanted so "they aren't at fault'. This whole is is a total mess. I feel bad for any neighborhood on the chopping block for change.

I think today’s a lost cause. Whatever issue they’re working through, they gave up yesterday. The earliest this is resolved is mid-morning tomorrow, I bet.

Wait, what? If it only move 90 kids then who cares? I wonder if that's why they pulled in Hunt Valley? They need way more numbers?

Wait, you don’t think that Thru is up for the challenge? Maybe, just maybe, they should do an RFP next time rather than just relying on a sham shell process to select the consultant.

I think is is 100 kids based of FCPS numbers.

100 students moved out of WSHS eliminates the 2 trailers added this year.

But it’s 300 students to get down to the stated 105% capacity goal.
