[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has the making of a real scandal. There is a very real possibility that school board members or FCPS staff asked their BRAC cronies in region 5 to add that priority, so that there is a veneer of it coming from BRAC.

They must’ve known that Region 1 BRAC, where the school is located, would never go along with it.

Region 5 BRAC members just destroyed their credibility in one fell swoop.[/quote]

I live in Region 5.  I read these forums but have nothing to do with BRAC.  If I were a betting person, I would suggest that earlier speculation about the "3rd" member of one of the pyramids in Region 5 encouraged this.  I doubt anyone from my pyramid did this.

I would suggest that Marshall is in Region 1 and some of those neighborhoods along route 7 are adjacent to Marshall neighborhoods.  If they want to be sent to Langley, that would be a possibility.

Also, if you are in a pyramid for one school, but your elementary school is in another region--which region do you go with on BRAC?

Marshall is in Region 5, not Region 1. There are some people in an attendance island at Westbriar ES currently at Westbriar/Kilmer/Marshall who would prefer being moved to Colvin Run/Cooper/Langley to being moved to Wolftrap ES (while remaining at Kilmer/Marshall), as proposed by Thru. They live closer to Cooper and Langley than the Forestville families and might believe that moving Forestville to Herndon would create more space to move them to Cooper and Langley instead.

The current regions have made little sense from their inception, and the various boundary change proposals just make that more obvious. It's like FCPS has deliberately chosen to structure itself in a manner that dilutes meaningful input and makes people wish the district was divided into smaller, more sensible school districts.
