[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If everyone is completely fine with the 16+ mile bus rides in Langley district, they should be more than fine bussing in some high FARM apartment complexes from Herndon to Langley high school.  [/quote]

Langley can take some apartment complexes zoned to crowded McLean and Marshall that are a lot closer than 16 miles from the school. [/quote]

"[b]Whenever[/b][i]" is not happening.

[b]Virginia Law[/b] https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title22.1/chapter7/section22.1-79/

A school board shall:
1. See that the school laws are properly explained, enforced and observed;
2. Secure, by visitation or otherwise, as full information as possible about the conduct of the public schools in the school division and take care that they are conducted according to law and with the utmost efficiency;
3. Care for, manage and control the property of the school division and provide for the erecting, furnishing, equipping, and noninstructional operating of necessary school buildings and appurtenances and the maintenance thereof by purchase, lease, or other contracts;
4. [b]Provide for the consolidation of schools or redistricting of school boundaries or adopt pupil assignment plans [b]whenever [/b]such procedure will contribute to the efficiency of the school division[/b];[/i]

FCPS staff  Supt Brabrand, Chief Operating Officer Smith, Asst Supt for Facilities and Transportation Platenburg  are in a moratorium on boundary processes other than what was voted on -  p 46 of the CIP.   Years of negative impact on operating efficiency by this school board while it discusses /revises it's Regulation 8130 on boundaries, school and program assignment?

Examples of operating inefficiency:  
Mount Vernon/West Potomac.
Sandburg 105%  [feeds West Potomac]/Whitman 85%[feeds Mount Vernon] is in the Sandburg attendance area
Langley/Marshall/Mclean.
