[quote=Anonymous][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]

I sat next to Lewis people at one of the meetings.

The one with kids in the pyramud just wanted them to get rid of IB so smart kids stop transferring out of Lewis, and a renovation of the facilities.

The empty nester wanted FCPS to move an entire WSHS elementary school into Lewis, assuming to raise her property values since her kids were long graduated.   She did acknowlege that wouldn't actually fix anything because those kids would use the IB loophole to transfer, with Lewis then looking at 500 transfers out of the school instead of the current 250+/- IB to AP transfers.

I think the people actually zoned to Lewis want to be an AP school with nice facilities so their neighbors stop transferring to other schools.[/quote]

+1 move Lewis and McLean up in the renovation list and give them nice new facilities. Dump IB for a full slate of AP classes at Lewis and keep the extra capacity for if and when a bunch of development comes to the current/soon to be former police station and government center area on Franconia Rd. Stop the bleeding out and get the students who should be going there to return vs. pupil placing out to Hayfield, LB, or wherever else. [/quote]

The next renovation queue should prioritize Annandale, McLean, and Lewis in that order.  Annandale was built in 1954, McLean in 1955, and Lewis in 1958.  They also ought to let people know whether the KAA purchase will delay or accelerate renovations to those schools. [/quote]
