[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It seems you prefer semantics to common sense. If a new high school is built that adds capacity in western Fairfax, why on earth would they not consider moving kids to a school closer to their homes that now has capacity? It’s what FCPS has been telling people in private correspondence for years they plan to do. Unless, of course, you think protecting the status quo at Langley should always be a priority, regardless of the extra transportation costs borne by everyone in the county.[/quote]

I'm the poster to whom you are responding.  I speak from a point of view of the purpose of the school to relieve overcrowding in Western Fairfax.  I live in Western Fairfax.  I have only been to Langley for sporting events.  I can also look at a map and the FCPS data on the membership at the school.  If you took Great Falls out of Langley, who would replace those kids?

I assume kids who live closer than 10-14 miles from the school?  There are quite a few of them. [/quote]

So, you plan to create lots of split feeders?  [/quote]

There are already split feeders all over the county.  The elimination of split feeders usually only gets mentioned as a desirable thing when people see an opportunity to move to a higher ranked school and bump up their home equity.

Although it’s also quite possible that some areas that were moved to Langley if, say, Forestville were reassigned in its entirety to Herndon MS/HS would either eliminate an existing split feeder or not create a new one. [/quote]
