[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the new housing getting built in Tysons currently feeds into Marshall and McLean.

Marshall's enrollment is up 38 kids since the school year began.  McLean is up 27 kids.  Langley's enrollment hasn't increased at all from September 2021 to April 2022.

If they don't reassign this new housing project off Spring Hill Road to under-enrolled Langley, Jason Miyares should open an investigation into the School Board's neglect of duty.  [/quote]

If nothing happened when millions were spent expanded West Potomac even though Mt. Vernon had space, I doubt the Langley boundary will warrant much attention.

Besides, 46 has promise us food shortages and inflation shows no sign of stopping.  I’ll bet that the percentage of Langley-boundaried children that goes to private school decreases next year and the year after.  A bad economy is great for public school enrollment. [/quote]

I doubt the private school enrollment decreases, but I doubt the school board will be too interested in dealing with anymore boundary adjustments in that area for a while. Your example of west Potomac was spot on. [/quote]

You could argue it’s an opportunity for the SB members to try and redeem themselves.  Of course, it may be too late for some, given how little support they have left.[/quote]

I watched an old work session on which they discussed how enrollment increased during the 2008 recession era.

A bad economy makes people, even well off ones, cut back. Maybe fewer in the Langley boundary than others will go FCPS to save money than some other areas but enrollment would absolutely increase.

That would be hell on McLean high school crowding.[/quote]
