[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As people know, Janie Strauss beat her Republican opponent, Pete Kurzenhauser, for the Dranesville seat on the FCPS School Board race last night. I looked at the precinct data.  Of 30 precincts, Strauss won 21 and lost eight, with one virtual tie.  They break down as follows:

Herndon HS precincts: 6-0
McLean HS precincts: 10-0-1
Marshall HS precinct: 1-0
Westfield HS precinct: 1-0
Absentee precinct: 1-0
Precinct equally split between McLean/Langley HS: 1-0
Langley HS precincts: 1-8

I probably wouldn't be looking for too many favors from Strauss over the next four years if my kids were at Langley.  She used to go to great lengths to protect the Langley boundaries from any changes, or from even being included within the scope of FCPS boundary studies, and the Langley parents respond by trying to unseat her.

Believe it or not, there are many Langley families who would support a boundary change.  The school is excellent, but the commute is just too far for some of us.

I didn't vote for Strauss because she seems completely disinterested in drastically scaling back AAP, which has exploded within the Langley pyramid and become somewhat of a joke.  I'm not sure what kind of favors you think she's been granting those of us with kids at Langley.[/quote]

Where did Kurzenhauser say he was in favor of revising Langley's boundaries to make the school more diverse or scaling back AAP enrollment?[/quote]
