[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has a long history of picking winners like West Springfield, Langley, and Madison, and losers like Lewis and Mount Vernon. What people don’t recognize is these boundary changes are going to create new losers that include some higher ranked schools.

When they are down to just a dozen or so well regarded schools the whole system will crash and burn. [/quote]

The market chooses winners and losers, with an assist from the school board (e.g., liberal transfer policies)[/quote]

The assist from the school board goes well beyond transfer policies and includes the allocation of capital funding and boundary decisions made and not made.  [/quote]

Title I schools in the county receive more funding in the same way that blue states subsidize red states.

And, while I understand that you’d like the school board to destroy high performing schools to level the playing field, boundary change decisions are merely a reaction to market forces, not the root cause of any issue.[/quote]
