[quote=Anonymous][quote]Saying "boundaries" to Langley parents is like shouting "fire" in a movie theatre. They show up in force - hundreds at a meeting at Forestville ES in mid-2019 and dozens interrupting an FCPS work session the next month.[/quote]

Most neighborhoods would show up when redistricting is discussed.  Here's a little secret--most people do not want their schools to be redistricted.

I  went to a boundary event a few years ago for a new school, and after the discussion, my friend mentioned that, while we did not want our school redrawn--no one else did either.  Even if you think a school is 'inferior," the community frequently would prefer to stay at the current school.

Even that Herndon parent who frequently posted seemed to want Great Falls "in" to Herndon and others "kicked out."  Seems like she did not want her child redistricted--she just wanted different kids there.

People reassigned to Oakton from Chantilly wanted to stay at Chantilly--even though Oakton is the more affluent school.

It's not all about test scores.
