[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The change is kind of ridiculous. It won’t help the overcrowding at McLean for years. [/quote]

With the modular McLean is projected to be under capacity with the proposed boundary change by 2024-25.

They should have built an addition at McLean years ago, not added seats at Langley where they weren’t needed, but given where things now stand the staff’s recommendation is a sensible way to balance the enrollments. [/quote]

Which means we will be stuck with ridiculous split feeders for years. They should get rid of those now while they have the chance. [/quote]

There have been split feeders in FCPS for many decades.  This isn't something new.

People rarely complain about split feeders when they split to the wealthier school.  Few at Franklin Sherman zoned for Langley have been pleading to be reassigned to McLean, even though about 90% of FS goes to McLean, and few at Lemon Road or Westgate zoned for McLean have been pleading to be reassigned to Marshall, even though about 80% of LR and Westgate go to Marshall.

I trust FCPS sees through the whining, and will make a decision soon and move on.  They already ruled out moving all the Longfellow/McLean kids at Colvin Run and Spring Hill to Cooper/Langley, as it would move too many kids, leave McLean over 15% under-capacity in a few years, and create more problems at Cooper during its upcoming renovation.

Send all of westgate and lemon road to Marshall, all of spring Hill and colvin to Langley [/quote]

Marshall doesn't have the extra capacity and FCPS isn't going to move all of Spring Hill and Colvin Run to Cooper/Langley and leave McLean 15-20% under-capacity.  [/quote]
