[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So dumb that they didn't go with option B and move all the Colvin Run kids...would have eliminated both an attendance island and gotten rid of a split feeder...the focus on SFH versus adding expensive Tyson's apartments is stupid.[/quote]

Langley won’t fall apart just because it finally has some mid-range condos like the Rotonda and some rental apartments.  Most of the multi-family housing in Tysons would remain zoned to McLean and Marshall. [/quote]

DP.  No one cares about apartments/townhouses/SFHs.  That’s not the issue, so you can stop pretending it is.  The issue is drawing up convoluted boundaries, leaving split-feeders, and continuing to have small islands here and there - JUST so the SB (and other self-righteous scolds) can say, “Look! Equity!”   :roll:  Boundaries should be based on practical geography, not the social justice mission du jour. [/quote]

You should just stop whining about it here and write the School Board that One Fairfax is garbage, equity is nonsense, Langley needs to remain the only high school in FCPS with no apartments, and the parents who bought in the areas of Colvin Run and Spring Hill zoned to Longfellow/McLean had no idea their kids wouldn’t go to Cooper/Langley even though those areas have been zoned to Longfellow/McLean for over 35 years.  Just make sure that you don’t mention that some kids already travel over 12 Mike’s to Langley when you’re stressing the need for “practical geography” to trump all other considerations.

Because otherwise all FCPS is doing here is trying to balance the enrollments at an overcrowded and an under-enrolled school in a manner that doesn’t gut McLean or overcrowd Cooper while giving some consideration to the housing mix at both schools.  [/quote]
