[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What elementary and middle school would this feed into?[/quote]

At present, Westbriar ES and Kilmer MS.  It would make sense to reassign the new buildings on Spring Hill Road and to the immediate north to Spring Hill ES and Cooper MS.  Spring Hill has capacity and Cooper has about 150 fewer kids now than Kilmer.  Kilmer has had temporary classrooms (trailers/modular) for years.  Cooper is being renovated and expanded now.

I know that Spring Hill is a split feeder and already one of the largest elementary schools in McLean. I thought the SB was going to get rid of the split feeder to Langley/McLean High but then they didn’t.

Do they make these tiny boundary adjustments for equity? We moved here 4 years ago. I have been trying to follow these boundary changes. I know there was a huge push for equity changes via One Fairfax to change boundaries across all of Fairfax county and I believe it was axed due to unpopularity. I wouldn’t want my kids reshuffled for the sake of equity.[/quote]

They have in the past. Ft Hunt elementary has a little island that encompasses one low income housing development[/quote]

I believe that island was moved to Fort Hunt in the 1970s to address overcrowding at Hybla Valley.  I don't think it had anything to do with equity.[/quote]

That sounds right.  But it's a convenient straw-man to imply that adjustments that would mitigate capacity imbalances are "social engineering"[b] when parents at the receiving schools don't like the demographics of the students being reassigned[/b].  [/quote]

DP.  Please do provide evidence that this is the case.  The rest of us know that is absurd, but I look forward to you presenting actual proof that anyone has said that, much less thinks it.  [/quote]

No reasonable person can read your posts and not come away with the clear understanding that you're all about policing who goes to Langley and where kids currently at Langley may go in the future.  We can all see how you challenge every post suggesting that assigning Dominion Square West to Langley would be a good idea and applaud every post suggesting that it's a bad idea.  [/quote]

You do realize there are mulitple people posting here, right?  Kind of funny how you direct ALL of your responses to one person.  I don't police where anyone at all goes to school, but the irony in that statement is hilarious since that's exactly what you've been trying your mightiest to do.  Are you the poster who shoots down anyone who presents you with facts, even when they aren't Langley parents?  Good luck on your crusade that absolutely no one else cares about.  [/quote]
