[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re doing now what they should have done in the last boundary change. Abingdon’s growth isn’t going to slow, and Drew has space. They are adjacent. It’s not rocket surgery.[/quote]
They won’t move Fairlington, they’ll find some other solution with fringe planning units[/quote]

Their proposal makes clear they are not moving Fairlington.  They are moving the planning units that aren't even contiguous and contain affordable housing.  [/quote]

There are no more contiguous PUs to pull in. Anything would be non-contiguous. The justification for the units they are planning to move is they already take a bus to Abingdon, now they will just take a bus to Drew.

But yeah, most of the people I know who live in the SFH/townhome/duplexes in those PUs already go to an option school- mostly Claremont and Campbell. Drew will remain a high poverty school. Not much can be done about it. [/quote]

Fairlington is also NOT in the walk zone to Abingdon.   So, why not move it?  Oh wait.  Because APS doesn't want the fight.  [/quote]

I know there’s posters on these threads that would like nothing more than to stick it to Fairlington…  they may want to bow out. If the proposal goes through, not only does south Fairlington remain at Abingdon, but it will become a lower FRL school. [/quote]

DP. Which proposal is that?[/quote]
