[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like more boundary changes are on the horizon soon in LCPS, including changes for many schools in Ashburn area.

With population growth comes boundary changes. Roll with it.[/quote]

Aw, come on. There's people whose kids have gone to one elementary school for years who might suddenly have to go elsewhere. Or people who bought in one neighborhood for the schools only to suddenly get routed to schools they never would have considered buying into. That sucks. [/quote]

That's life. Besides, one elementary school in Loudoun is pretty much like any other.[/quote]

No, usually one has all your friends and neighbors whereas all the others don't. I would love to see you be cool with your kids suddenly being sent to some GS5 school where you know no one when you bought for GS9. [/quote]

Right, because GS (a subjective measure) is the be all and end all of determining school quality. Let me guess, GS9 is where all the white kids are (i.e., people like us).[/quote]

Sigh, because everyone is scared of brown people. Sure. I prefer the school my child goes to because it has small class sizes which for her, having some special needs, is very beneficial and makes a big difference in how she does in class. It also has a wonderful administration who the teachers and parents love which is important to me, and an outstanding group of teachers.  I would like to remain in that school for those reasons. It also has a very robust population of minorities so I am not the least bit concerned with the racial makeup of the school- I am concerned with making sure she goes to the school we chose to send her to for very, very good reasons.[/quote]

I think anyone who moved to Loudoun County should fully expect boundary changes.   there is a rapidly growing population, and it can't be predicted ahead of time who is going to live in which boundary.  It's just a fact of life.  You can complain, but it's going to happen.  I grew up in FFX county and had the boundaries changed twice while I was in Elementary School, so three different schools.  Now FFX County is built up, boundary changes are less frequent.[/quote]
