[quote=Anonymous]As for Meren's motion--I did not hear the discussion, so am uncertain of what her purpose was.  FWIW, I think the "opt-in" thing is stupid.  Set the boundaries, and figure it out.  Something would have to be done about sports.

I am no Meren fan.  But, her job is to look out for the schools and her constituents.  South Lakes is in her boundary and she has lots of constituents who will be upset if Fox Mill is removed.  Others want to go to the new school.  So, she is between a rock and a hard place.
What she should be doing?  Lobbying to get rid of IB.

Robyn Lady is hanging on to magnet idea for one reason:  Great Falls constituents.  There is not other reason for her to flip like she did on a comprehensive high school.  Of course, it would be a lovely facility for a magnet--but it was not purchased for that reason and--as Lady herself said when they purchased it--Chantilly desperately needs it.

The purpose of the School Board is to make good decisions for the school system.  It is clear that Oakton will be overcrowded very soon.  The population rose by 100 this year.  It is now very slightly over capacity.  New construction is going on within its boundary.

South Lakes is not over capacity.

Big difference in the choices.
