[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]www.ardavan2019.com[/quote]  It is weird that all he talks about is Great Falls and Herndon, but uses a picture of McLean HS on his front cover page. [/quote]

There is a statement about each of the schools.  I get that he is trying to please the parents of kids in each school, but the message is inconsistent.  This is what I get:
1. McLean is overcrowded, but the parents don't want to redistrict.  Answer: maybe temporarily adjust boundaries.  Expand McLean or build a new school.

Problem--does he realize that he has to get the approval of a majority of the Board to do this.  Does he realize that there are many schools in FCPS that are more overcrowded than McLean?  
thin. Herndon has  problems--do what the community wants.  
Problem is--from reading these forums, it is quite unclear what the community wants.

[b]3. Langley boundaries should stay the same.

I kind of think that is why he is running.[/b]

He also mentions transition from feeder schools to middle schools need more coordination or something.  Not a bad idea, but is that a platform?

Maybe, it is a work in progress, but I don't see a lot here.  But, I don't get a say as I don't live in Dranesville.[/quote]

Everyone gets a say since this is a county wide school division and there are 3 at large members.  Nonsense and irresponsibility cross magisterial districts and impact taxes.  Everyone would pay  for additions at West Potomac while contiguous Mount Vernon has open capacity.  Everyone pays for stuff like the extra funding of $1.3 million extra for 2 schools - Hunters Woods in Hunter Mill District and Bailey's in Mason District.  Guess what?  Some people who live in Herndon find that plus IB "inequitable"  and believe all schools should get the same level of funding with adjustment for poverty/esol.

His positions appear to all be derived from Langley boundaries as a constant.

And who talks to Herndon?
