[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shocked she’s willing to move Fox Mill to Hughes, figure that’s going to cause uproar.  Makes sense from a pyramid perspective, but a bit of a last minute rug pull.[/quote]

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/VAEDUFCPS/bulletins/4002236   Meren is telling Fox Mill in boundary not to opt in.  32% of the 522 base school students on SPAs live west of the FX Cty Parkway- was on Coates boundary study. This mess should become the shining moments for the at large members.  Was Meren the stumbling block to getting form boundaries on a timely basis?  Meren as Hunter Mill rep does not address the scenario 4 Marshall Westbriar Island or her Langley/Madison feeds.

Floris and Fox Mill used to have JIP and now it's at Fox Mill, a successful program whereas Great Falls likely requires extra resources for staffing.  Adding Fox Mill to Hughes for base + any AAP doesn't work. 1011+ 152 Fox Mill=1163/1022 capacity=[b]1.14% utilization.

Hughes got 101 AAP from Herndon for SY2024-25. Eventually removing them and adding Fox Mill base school put Hughes at 104%.  Still too high.  Meren was the NO vote on all MS have in boundary AAP.

Meren needs to go. [/quote]

Agreed. [/quote]

Yup!! Happy for our Floris SLHS friends. I’m shocked Meren is letting them go. So Western is basically going to be Coates, McNair, Oak Hill, Floris and Crossfield OR Lees Corner? [/quote]

That is Meren's plan, that doesn't mean it happens. She has been aggressively trying to counter other school board members and Reid for the last 6 months. [/quote]

It is quite rare for School Board members to step into another member's district decisions.  I do know of one case when it happened, but it is extremely rare.  I think all of the students in boundary for Fox Mill are in Hunter Mill, so I would question any other member recommending otherwise.  I think Fox Mill parents who prefer the new school would have to present good, solid rationale for sending them to the new school.  I don't see it, though I certainly understand it.[/quote]
