[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What roads does the bus use that it passes Lanier and then also passes Rachel Carson? Rachel Carson is north of Franklin.[/quote]

PP didn't mention Carson - she referred to Lanier and Rocky Run.

If you look at the map, you can see that, if you're in the eastern part of the Franklin zone, you might travel past Lanier and Rocky Run.

But, just to show how tricky this stuff can be, if you look at the map, you'll see an area shaded purple just west of the City of Fairfax that recently got moved from Lanier to Franklin (and from Fairfax to Oakton), largely at the request of parents in the area, because they previously had been the only areas that went to Carson MS for AAP, but then Fairfax HS.

FCPS would really have to start over from scratch, perhaps using the same concept of "planning units" that APS employs, to come up with more rational pyramids.  And, while people tend to support that in principle, they typically want to stay in their own current schools. [/quote]
