[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people are not unreasonable.  I think in FCPS that lack of transparency has caused a lot of problems.  Most people want to stay where they are.  Yes, it does affect property values, but I think that school and community loyalty is the bigger issue.

People pay closer attention to what the SB is doing now, but in the past, some boundary redistrictings seemed to come out of nowhere.  My community went through a middle and two high school redistrictings over the last twenty years.  Two of them involved new schools and did not take anyone by surprise.  The third was totally a surprise to our community.  We ended up being unaffected, but we had to fight for it. Our property values would not likely have been affected as one option was actually a "better rated" school than the one we are assigned and the other was quite similar.  Distance and community were the driving factors to us.[/quote]

Agree. People in Fairfax also get hot about it because, as far as I know, there's never been a redistricting that has negatively affected a SB member's property values.[/quote]
