Moving the Rolling Valley Lewis students to WSHS and moving other neighborhoods out of WSHS to make room for the Lewis kids has been the Springfield representative's biggest rezoning priority since FCPS started revising policy 8130.[/quote]

So who is it?  Which family supported Anderson or is close to Anderson’s family if this is the case?[/quote]

We were told that she was advocating for this group because some groups can’t organize and spend time advocating like our group. It was a very surprising statement, because we are also households of busy working parents, who are federal workers, military, teachers, etc. We don’t have any more resources than this RVES pocket.

So, equity??

That doesn't make sense.

That RV neighborhood is just as wealthy as the rest of 22152 and has a similar demographic as the rest of WSHS.[/quote]

Comprehensive boundary review is a shitty game of musical chairs. [/quote]

Every boundary review is musical chairs because every boundary review shifts seats in a zero sum environment. [/quote]

That's an odd statement.  How is it a zero sum environment when they get money every few years for capital projects and boundary changes can be one-way?  It's not like they move kids out of every school they move kids into. [/quote]

DP. It's zero sum for the homeowners depending on which schools they end up with[/quote]

Not necessarily.  Could be net positive or net negative depending on how it's done. [/quote]
