[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]West Springfield folks are really brutal.

Fortunately for them, the School Board is a bunch of ninnies and didn't move anyone out of West Springfield even though it was well over the 105% threshold that they used to kick kids out of a bunch of other schools. [/quote]

It is not brutal.

WSHS has been closed to transfers for over a decade.

Since Dr. Reid has arrived, someone at Gatehouse has been overriding FCPS transfer policy and the WSHS administration, approving every single transfer, not just German language transfers but every other transfer into WSHS, almost tripling the number of teachers kids and military Fort Belvoir residents that historically transfer into the [b]closed[/b] school.

Then, FCPS tried to rezone 2 neighborhoods out of WSHS, that almost exactly matched the number of students Gatehouse has been allowing to transfer into WSHS in violation of FCPS own transfer policy.  This rezoning of residents to accommodate non resident  transfers into WSHS made people go ballistic over the complete unfairness of letting students transfer into a closed school in violation of district policy.  All FCPS needed to do was enforce their own written transfer policy.

There is nothing brutal about demanding that FCPS enforce their written transfer policy, by sending all the German language transfers into Irving and WSHS and sending those studdnts to Robinson.  Nor is there anything brutal in demanding that Gatehouse enforce district policy, by not allowing a single transfer into closed schools like WSHS, except for teachers' kids and active duty military living on Fort Belvoir.

If FCPS simply enforced the old transfer policy and shut down all transfers into closed schools like WSHS, there would be no reason to eliminate language transfers entirely.[/quote]
