But wasn’t WSES the one that got gerrymandered OUT of Pat Herrity’s magisterial district? It was discussed in the old thread. There was something very fishy going on there. [/quote]

Yes, only the “walkers” to Irving MS stayed in the Springfield SB District. The rest of WSES was redistricted to Franconia SB District (where Lewis is). It’s not too hard to see what the plan is. The eastern neighborhoods of WSES are closer to Lewis than WSHS. Except for a few streets that are “walker” distance to Irving MS, moving WSES reduces overcrowding as WSHS and Irving MS, satisfies the “transportation” requirements in the new policy and helps the equity goals of the SB.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the southern HVES neighborhood south of the parkway was also broken off and added to their neighboring ES and fed into SoCo HS freeing up space in HVES to fix overcrowding as HVES and OHES (eliminating the trailers at both schools, another stated SB goal) while allowing both schools the capacity they need to bring AAP4 in-house at the schools (another stated SB goal).

I live in this area and your predictions make total sense to me. But that doesn’t mean the School Board agrees. I don’t trust them to make any sort of predictable or sensible decisions. And I really feel for all the families that may be impacted.
