[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ If all of the above is accurate, then those of you insisting that Tysons, etc. move more kids to Langley really need to understand that it's the School Board who controls these decisions - not the parents.  A lot of you *love* to blame Langley parents for boundary decisions, when the reality is, the SB has full control.  Something to keep in mind.[/quote]

That's kind of a straw-man argument. School Board members make the decisions, but they usually listen to active, connected and vocal parents.  For example, in 2011, Janie Strauss went to Great Falls when she was seeking re-election and emphasized that she'd kept Langley out of the 2008 South Lakes HS boundary study that moved kids from Westfield, Oakton and Madison to South Lakes.  Do you really think she would have done that if some Langley parents hadn't been urging her to get Langley excluded?

Sounds like your issue is with Janie Strauss then.  Take it up with her. [/quote]

Come up with a better argument next time.  Portraying Langley parents as besieged victims doesn't quite cut it. [/quote]
