+1.  DCUM has been overrun with hysterics and fear mongering about FCPS boundaries.  It’s unlike anything I’ve seen on here with respect to FCPS and I’ve seen a lot of controversial topics in FCPS over the last dozen years.  I can only assume these folks will start talking about caravans and moats filled with alligators next.[/quote]

Ever been through a boundary adjustment/redistricting?  Doesn't sound like it.  People generally want to stay put.  It might surprise you that "poor" people want to stay put, as well.  People on here talk like "poor people" would be thrilled to have their kids bused to a better school.  Here's a little information: they want to stay in their communities, too. [/quote]

DP, but it’s part of the hysteria and fear mongering to which PP referred to suggest that their are imminent, far-reaching plans to bus kids, rich or poor, far from their current schools. I’d call them “community schools,” but for the fact that, if we are being honest, we all know many FCPS students already attend schools outside their immediate communities.  There’s no better example of that than the Great Falls students who are bused 12 miles from their homes to attend middle and high schools in McLean. [/quote]

1.  They want to go there. 
2.  They want to stay in the school where their community has been assigned forever pretty much.
3.   Said school is underenrolled.  Nearby school is at capacity, at best.
4.   There really is no viable alternative that works.  But, it appears from the work sessions that the School Board members would like a massive redisricting and many posters keep complaining and seem to resent Langley's  affluent demographics.[/quote]

Resentment of affluence and dislike of arrogance are two different things. The Langley group has tried to exert an outsized influence over an upcoming election because there is a 1 in roughly 10 million chance some might get moved to Herndon by 2035 and they find even those slim odds unacceptably high. The rest of the county would like them to STFU.[/quote]
