[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It isn't about their behavior. It's mostly about the principle of it all. FCPS is a public school system. FCPS should not be swayed from making any decision based on personal real estate investments, which we all know is what the GF community primarily cares about. The fact that the FCPS school board is in fact influenced by these factors is a shame.[/quote]

Of course, they shouldn't.  Neither should the SB make a decision to shift kids because the SB does not like the demographics.

The bottom line:
Langley is underenrolled. 
Herndon is at capacity.

Why would you move kids for no reason?

You haven’t paid attention to the conversation or completely (and perhaps purposely) obtuse. The reason would be if Herndon students are siphoned off into the new Western HS. Then the Langley kids who are already miles closer to Herndon High than Langley MIGHT shift back (after 30 years) to Herndon. There is a potential domino effect that will rearrange several school boundaries.

Seems that boundaries need to be re-evaluated every 20-30’years as a matter of course in a county wide school system. If the district were small (eg, districts that encompass a town or suburban cities) then change might not be as necessary. [/quote]
