[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I happen to agree that it is ridiculous that some of those neighborhoods are going to Langley--but, and I cannot speak to earlier decisions--those families want to be sent to Langley.  I doubt the Hutchison families would appreciate it.  And, the commute would be far more brutal than the ones at Forestville.

And, all the neighborhoods in Forestville are not only six miles from Herndon High.  Forestville location is actually pretty close to halfway--it's some of the neighborhoods that are closer.  And, you still haven't addressed how the kids will be able to participate in all those wonderful extracurriculars at Langley.  [/quote]

Of course it makes no sense to move Hutchison to Langley.  It's west of Herndon HS, and it would be much more difficult for lower-income families who may not have cars to get back and forth to Langley when they needed to be there.

When the new high school is built, perhaps it could take Hutchison, Coates, McNair, Oak Hill, Fox Mill, and parts of Floris and/or Dogwood.  And then the discussion about moving Forestville from Langley to Herndon would be timely.  Before then, it's completely premature. [/quote]

We need to stop focusing on the new high school - that is minimum 2030.  We have problems NOW that need to be addressed NOW.

Western GF can feed to Herndon.  Take out Aldrin/Armstrong from Herndon and put in South Lakes.  The Herndon/Oak Hill South Lakes kids should go to Herndon.  Move kids from McLean to Langley and/or bus some of the FARM Herndon kids to Langley for equity.
