[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meren is sending out the same letter to people, a bunch of us got the same thing.

She opposes micro-split feeders, mentions this connected to Crossfield and it's new feeder pattern.
She opposes the Fox Mill move because it will "further decrease under-enrolled membership"

SLHS is at 98% capacity, even at 85% capacity it is not under enrolled. The issue is that they don't have enough students taking IB, is my guess. That is not FMES fault, nor is it FMES problem. [/quote]

Isn't she a little big late to express her opinion publicly?  I feel she went easy and avoided conflict before the last version came out, which had fmes in both versions.  And now,  she is say cheap words hopefully to reduce blames from slhs parents.  She should really push to fix IB in slhs if that's one of the main complaints of slhs.[/quote]

If they fix IB at SLHS then they would lose the Herndon kids who transfer into SLHS for IB. Not that many of them finish the diploma but it is close to 200 students a year. [/quote]

Aren't there hundreds of empty seats at Herndon after they renovated? [/quote]

Yes. They renovated to a much higher capacity than HHS ever had, student wise. So Herndon didn't "lose" 800 students the way Westfield will; FCPS just build out the school with hundreds more seats than needed. [/quote]

Herndon was around 2350 kids for a number of years. It’s lost 270 kids over the past three years but the plans to expand HHS were already in place by then. They were considering future growth in Herndon and of course waiting to overcrowd Langley with enough kids from McLean that they can move part of Langley back to Herndon in a few years.

It’s a very different situation from what they are doing to Westfield, which is more like what happened to Annandale after kids were moved out of AHS in 2011 (the enrollment dropped and the FARMS rate increased more than initially projected).  [/quote]
