[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vacancies at Westfield with neighboring schools at or above capacity is a gross misuse of county resources.  On top of that it’s all being done in order to appease a school board member and a wealthy neighborhood.  FCPS is a fraud.  They scream equity from the rooftops until it affects the people that attend their house parties.  Westfield staff and community members should bring this up publicly every chance they get.  Make the decision makers regularly have to hear about how they screwed Westfield over.  Make it an issue the school board members can’t get rid of and are consistently making excuses for.  That’s the only way forward and it will force their hands on future decisions.[/quote]

See Lewis - West Springfield or Mt. Vernon - West Potomac. Same story. Vote of no confidence in Lewis and Mt. Vernon - by not moving students to those schools or by moving students out - accelerated decline.

FCPS is a farce and has been since School Boards became elected positions.[/quote]

They are moving a few dozen West Potomac kids to Mount Vernon. Of course, they picked some of the poorest kids at West Potomac to move.

When something like that happens once, it might be justified under the circumstances.  But there’s a consistent pattern of FCPS deferring to the wishes of the well-heeled, and then treating poorer kids as low-hanging fruit who can be moved around for whatever reason.  What they are proposing to do to backfill Westfield (only partially) is very consistent with some of their other proposals.  It’s not fair to those kids and it’s not fair to Westfield, either.

Especially when there have been ten+ rounds of maps, and the "final" scenario is the first time they redlined that Trinity island and Brookfield apartments specifically for Westfield. [/quote]
