[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone heard how FCPS plans to address the capacity imbalances at Langley, McLean and Marshall? The latest CIP has Langley at 82% of capacity next year, Marshall at 94%, and McLean at 118%.  By 2023, they have Langley at 79%, Marshall at 100%, and McLean at 126%. Since the CIP doesn't commit to building an addition at McLean like they plan for Madison (even though Madison isn't projected to be as overcrowded as McLean), they must intend to change the boundaries.  But they don't offer any details in the CIP as to how or when.

I know Janie Strauss is not running for re-election next year, so maybe she wants to hand this off to her successor.  Have any of her possible successors weighed in on this?

If they are going to re-draw the boundary, it means that Langley will end up with kids from more affluent parts of Mclean.  I guess anything from Old Dominion/Dolley Madison  and Old Dominion/Kirby Street part of Mclean will end up going to Langley.  Those are wealthier parts of Mclean.  Mclean will end up with more kids from the Falls Church area because people can't afford Mclean zip code but some of the Falls Church places are zoned for Mclean HS.

The gap between the "have" and "have not" will be wider than ever.[/quote]

Not necessarily. FCPS can move some or all of Tysons (which splits to McLean and Marshall) to Langley instead.
