[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So dumb that they didn't go with option B and move all the Colvin Run kids...would have eliminated both an attendance island and gotten rid of a split feeder...the focus on SFH versus adding expensive Tyson's apartments is stupid.[/quote]

Langley won’t fall apart just because it finally has some mid-range condos like the Rotonda and some rental apartments.  Most of the multi-family housing in Tysons would remain zoned to McLean and Marshall. [/quote]

DP.  No one cares about apartments/townhouses/SFHs.  That’s not the issue, so you can stop pretending it is.  The issue is drawing up convoluted boundaries, leaving split-feeders, and continuing to have small islands here and there - JUST so the SB (and other self-righteous scolds) can say, “Look! Equity!”   :roll:  Boundaries should be based on practical geography, not the social justice mission du jour. [/quote]

If boundaries were based mostly on practical geography, Langley would have a smaller boundary area and enrollment than it has now.  It’s in a corner of the county with many students who live closer to other schools. [/quote]

The School Board could have gotten rid of Colvin Run being a split feeder but was more focused on moving apartments to Langley instead of doing what is best for the students there.  The apartments are not going to make anything more equitable between schools in FCPS sona really dumb decision.[/quote]

There are many people at Colvin Run happy they are NOT going to be moved.

Eliminating split feeders isn't really more than a consideration for FCPS.  It's not a consistent priority.  They just turned Thoreau MS into a three-way split feeder to Madison, Marshall, and Oakton a couple of years ago. [/quote]
