[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tholen has been fundamentally dishonest about the whole situation.  No doubt there are capacity challenges at McLean and elsewhere but we deserve better,

It was amusing, though, that she let slip to the MCA last week that it was important that boundaries reflect "geographical boundaries, such as Route 7."  That had to have been a Freudian slip, since the area that she moved to Langley (overriding the FCPS staff recommendation) consisted entirely of single-family neighborhoods [i]on the other side of Route 7 from Langley.[/i]  Just like every other little pocket in Herndon and Reston that's been [b]scoped[/b]into the Langley boundary over the years consists of expensive single-family homes and no apartments.

And, of course, she paid lip service to the idea of eliminating split feeders, while failing to acknowledge that she's left Spring Hill as a split feeder, but now created a situation where every kid who lives in an expensive house goes to Cooper/Langley and every kid who lives in a rental or condo zoned to Spring Hill goes to Longfellow/McLean.  She similarly failed to acknowledge that she did nothing about the incredibly lopsided split feeder at Franklin Sherman, where 90% of the kids go to Longfellow/McLean and only 10% to Cooper/Langley.  She could have cleaned that up, but didn't touch it.

She also claimed it would be untenable to have a situation where kids zoned to McLean might pass by Langley neighborhoods on their way to McLean, but neither she nor other School Board members have lifted a finger to address the fact that kids in the Westbriar ES island have passed by Colvin Run ES neighborhoods every day for years on their way to Westbriar.

She couldn't be more of a liar and a hypocrite if she tried.

I dunno I think the former member who pulled shenanigans with boundaries and all day K has her beaten.

@ the bolderd, I always called them “weird little scoops” lol

Can you IMAGINE the screaming of the board had closed the Franklin Sherman split feeder?[/quote]
