[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like my kid can still get in via the automatic 5%. At least it appears that they're making an effort to serve the whole county now. [/quote]

Agree it's better than just serving the families likely to invest heavy in prep but they need to set an upper bound too. Too many seats going to a handful of wealthy schools is not great.[/quote]

Maybe FCPS should fund the overdue additions to Chantilly and McLean before they "set an upper bound" on the number of kids from those pyramids going to TJ.  They expanded West Potomac to 3000 seats and Madison and Justice to 2500 (when none of those three schools was otherwise due for a renovation), so why can't they build Chantilly out to 3000 and McLean out to 2500?

Maybe McLean families should vote for representatives who care about their issues [/quote]

How does one go about doing this?  Look at Elaine Tholen.  She met with McLean groups before the fall 2019 elections and promised to prioritize getting McLean in the CIP for an eventual addition, and then pushed through a boundary change with Langley that left McLean and Marshall on the hook for all the growth in Tysons and dropped the ball entirely when it came to getting McLean in the CIP for an addition like those funded at Justice and Madison.

Until the School Board is prepared to to expand McLean, they shouldn't be capping the number of kids admitted to TJ from Longfellow any more than they are doing now.

Maybe vote for a representative who who actually lives in your district. McLean should have more voters than Langley [/quote]
