[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The third Woodson rep is wacko but I could see someone in Region 5 from Westfield wanting to move Langley kids to Herndon to increase the odds that Westfield kids near Herndon will get moved to the new KAA school.  Still really poor form to prioritize a boundary change outside your region affecting other people's kids. [/quote]

I would love to see the BRAC comments from Region 1.  I find it hard to believe that Herndon pyramid may not have suggested a Forestville move.[/quote]

There’s been zero indication so far that people in bounds for Herndon, Lewis, etc. actually want a bunch of affluent neighborhoods moved into their schools, because they know it isn’t going to move the needle. [/quote]

Ok then prove it. Show me a strong statement from an HOA, PTA, community organization etc. from one of those pyramids that says, we are advocating for students currently zoned for West Springfield, Edison, Langley etc. to be moved to our schools because we think it will improve our school’s status and our test scores. Not a more general “of course we welcome everyone” statement. I look forward to your proof![/quote]

Sure. I’m in the Herndon Pyramid. You are correct. As far as I know, nobody is advocating against moving kids from Forestville to Herndon. However, nobody is organized to redistrict Forestville to Herndon either. We’re just doing the best we can here. Not complaining too much.  Most of our families have more imminent needs, like making ends meet, and possibly even keeping their family units together

I am ok with redistricting some Forestville kids to Herndon, especially those that live less than three miles away. I am not writing letters to fcps, or organzing HOAs, though. I choose to out my energy elsewhere.

Just FYI, we do have some affluent families that attend Herndon, and we all get along just fine. It’s not about the money. Some may just not want new entitled, disgruntled kids who might look down at our diverse community. [/quote]
