[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your school has hundreds of empty seats (Mount Vernon) and the School Board nevertheless funds a massive expansion of the nearest school (West Potomac) to keep kids from being reassigned there - unlike in other situations where they've changed boundaries and reassigned kids - it's basically confirmation that FCPS sees the school as a pariah. It accelerates the flight of higher-income families out of the school.

You can thank former School Board member Karen Corbett Sanders for this, although she was cheered on by other local politicians.  [/quote]

No one is going to allow their kids to be redistricted to Mount Vernon as [b]there is no point living in Fairfax County if your kids have to go to a bad school[/b]. It's foolish to even think that would be politically viable. You want MVHS improved? Send your own kids and be an activist PTO president.[/quote]

That's not true at all. For a family that wants to take advantage of all the amenities near DC, affordable home costs, and send their kids to a school funded by one of the wealthiest counties in the world, it's actually a great opportunity from that lens. The financial support and programs that MVHS receives are outstanding compared to poorer rural districts.[/quote]
