[quote=Anonymous]They posted the additional materials from last night here:  https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps/facilities-planning-future/school-boundary-adjustments/mclean-high-school-proposed

Some key points:

* They are still soliciting feedback.  They could recommend a boundary change or no change.

* If they redistrict to Langley, they will redistrict to Cooper at the same time.

* They would phase in with rising 7th and 9th graders and grandfather existing students.

* Four options were presented:

- Option 1:  Move the portion of Colvin Run currently assigned to Longfellow/McLean to Cooper/Langley - moves the least # of kids of Options 1-3

- Option 2:  Move the portion of Colvin Run and the part of Spring Hill in Vienna (but not Tysons) currently assigned to Longfellow/McLean to Cooper/Langley - moves more kids that Option 1

- Option 3:  Move the portion of Spring Hill currently assigned to Longfellow/McLean (both in Vienna and Tysons) to Cooper/Langley - moves the most kids of Options 1-3.

- Option 4:  No change (predicated on treating the modular addition to McLean as additional capacity, in which case they would project significantly reduced overcrowding at McLean in the future).

* Options 1 and 2 only move single-family neighborhoods to Langley; Option 3 would move both SFHs and apartments in the Spring Hill ES district to Langley

* Their projections do not take into account whether Langley and McLean would pick up additional kids if there is a change in TJ admissions policy to region-based admissions.

* The goal is to make a decision that they would begin to implement in the fall of 2021.

* There were vague references to a new task force to look at growth occurring around Tysons, with the suggestion this might support a permanent addition at McLean, but no promises or commitments.

* Multiple School Board members (Tholen, Frisch, Sizemore Heizer, Omeish, and Cohen) sat in on the presentation; not sure if Keys Gamarra did even though she is also an at-large member.

* They collected and may post feedback from breakout groups collected during the presentation; you can continue to submit comments at McLeanBoundary@fcps.edu.
