[quote=Anonymous]Let’s assume this proposal was accepted in its entirety.

We hired a consultant and tasked the consultant to look at boundaries across the county with a primary goal of maximizing use of available facilities.

Let’s further assume that, when changing boundaries is required to achieve that goal, demographic balance should be a relevant consideration along with commuting times and trying to minimize split feeders.

And, finally, let’s assume that, as a result, we still had concentrations of relatively high FARMS schools and low FARMS schools, reflecting the residential housing mix in different areas, but we had more schools closer to the county-wide average and fewer schools at either extreme.

Wouldn’t most people in the county see that as a good outcome, notwithstanding the hysteria of groups like One Great Falls?

It’s a shame that all of the Dranesville candidates are from the Langley district and none is willing to engage in a discussion that others in Herndon and others in the county feel is overdue. [/quote]
