[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe Langley is only enrolled until they move kids from McLean to Langley. At that point, Langley won't be under enrolled. Not sure why there is so much posting about Langley when it is going to at capacity soon anyway. [/quote]

Which explains why FCPS is not moving some of McLean to Langley.  They have other plans........[/quote]

Which is what? Last I heard they were moving McLean kids to Langley. [/quote]

I thought they weren’t because the closest homes to Langley are some of the most expensive homes in McLean high and that goes against one Fairfax.[/quote]

They can move other areas zoned for McLean to Langley if they prefer not to move the neighborhoods that are closest/most expensive.  Those other areas are still closer to Langley than many areas currently zoned for Langley.  [/quote]

If they want to address overcrowding at McLean AND maximize efficiency, seems that it would be better to add the areas closest to  Langley.

They are already stretched with a shortage of drivers and drivers having difficulties with managing their routes to accommodate personal needs (specifically bathroom breaks if I recall Platenburgs comments correctly)[/quote]

Those kids won’t be walking in any event, as they’d have to cross both Dolley Madison and Georgetown Pike.  So FCPS can look at alternatives that would increase the diversity at Langley.  The draft revisions to the boundary policy certainly don’t seem to contemplate that the School Board would go with the option that makes the wealthiest school richer, but who knows.[/quote]
