[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same nextdoor posters complaining (over and over again, and again and again!) about the boundary changes a few months ago, seem to be same ones up in arms about “transparency issues” with the purchase of KAA. They also appear to live in a “North Herndon” neighborhood, currently zoned for Langley. I’m sure it is just a coincidence.

I hope the purchase of KAA goes smoothly, and FCPS can successfully revamp it in time to serve the families in that area. Westfield is so far from Mcnair and Coates. How can Westfield build a thriving community when their students live so far away?  [/quote]

I don't live anywhere near "North Herndon," yet I also have questions about the transparency and funding of this school - even while I think it's a great purchase and will relieve the crowding issues many have spoken of.  As FCPS residents, are we allowed to have questions about the process, or are we just supposed to shut up and keep our mouths closed?

One thing is for certain - if this school had been purchased in any other area (such as an area where it wouldn't benefit you), you'd be questioning the process too.[/quote]

Having questions about the funding for this purchase makes sense. However, I was pointing out the nextdoor posters who before questioning, over and over again, the funding fot KAA, were also some of posters who just a few months ago, were  talking about capacity issues at Herndon, saying that South Lakes should eliminate IB, so Herndon kids could not pupil place, and how moving Forestville ES to Herndon would be detrimental to their kids’ mental health, and that the 30 minute commute was a choice they made when they sacrificed so much because they care about their children’s education. So, maybe they are only truly conceened about the budget, and if they are honest about that, then fine, but their previous posts on Nextdoor make me question their true motive. [/quote]
