[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Renovations at Langley aren't scheduled to begin any earlier than 2015.

And, it has the least space per student because students from western Fairfax who logically should attend high schools far closer to their homes are allowed to attend Langley.   While they may prefer to attend Langley since it has good academics and high test scores, they don't deserve any sympathy for the overcrowding, since it is a situation of their own making.

Let me guess.  You're a Reston or Herndon family living geographically closer to Langley than some houses in Great Falls that feed to Langley?  And "allowed to attend Langley"?  It is the designated school after all.  Maybe your beef is with the school board.  At any rate, the oldest school buildings will be renovated in turn.  No need to punish the students and teachers and staff.[/quote]

You guessed wrong.  I don't live in these areas.  But Langley parents should wait their turn for renovations and not complain about the current space situation, which is one of their own making.  The School Board wouldn't have drawn the Langley boundaries as it did without a lot of advocacy from parents in Western Fairfax.

Why all the hate?  Langley is the oldest and over crowded.  It is waiting its turn.  The building is substandard.  The test scores are awesome. People flock there.  It is what it is.  Who is complaining, except for you?  And you're not affected by the boundaries?  Why don't you complain about something where there is a need for advocacy and you can affect change?  Not Langley's old building or boundaries.  [/quote]
