[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Great Falls resident, but I do think there were remarks early on by SB members that might have made one think they were on the chopping block.

And, to the poster a few pages back about the developers and Langley. That is absolutely true--we had a neighbor that moved to one of those developments on the Herndon side of RT 7 because it was zoned for Langley.  That was their reason for moving there.  Honestly, I was a little insulted--and I didn't even have a kid in school yet.[/quote]

It wasn't just random remarks by SB members.  The SB adopted revisions to a policy on boundary changes that suggested transportation times were going to be a big focus in the boundary review, and then Reid's consultants ignored the longest commutes in the county.  [/quote]

We all know why. Look at the composition of the BRAC. We know those people had a lot of influence. Look at the guy who got his neighborhood moved to Oakton. Reid admitted he was the reason that change was made. [/quote]

I wonder about BRAC and that tiny part of Fairfax High that is in Scenario 4 for Chantilly. It is tiny.  Make no sense.[/quote]

Is that neighborhood City of Fairfax?

If they aren't,  that is why they are being moved.

Fairfax City is its own entity.  [/quote]

I don't think this is accurate. I used to live at an address between Fairfax County Parkway and Fair Oaks Mall, and it was definitely not City of Fairfax. That area is still zoned to Fairfax. [/quote]

It is correct.

Other neighborhoods can be zoned to Fairfax High School if there is space.

But if there is rezoning out of Fairfax High School,  only non City of Fairfax homes can get rezoned out.

City of Fairfax homes are guaranteed a spot at Fairfax High School.

Fairfax High School belongs to City of Fairfax, with financial and some administrative ties to FCPS.

If needed, your old neighborhood can be resoned out of Fairfax HS, while City of Fairfax homes cannot.[/quote]

Fairfax HS is owned by City of Fairfax.  They have a contract with FCPS to run the daily operations of the school.
