[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw the presentation. I believe only one feeder was proposed to go to Annandale.  Two, I think were proposed for West Springfield, One was for Edison, and South County and Hayfield also got one, IIRC.

There was shifts from WS to Lake Braddock proposed. Orange Hunt, I think? Maybe Sangster? And there was a shift of one feeder to Robinson from Lake Braddock. White Oaks, I think? There was a mention of moving part of Woodson back to Annandale because it is so under utilized.

There was also a net out from each of these schools proposed. I think each of the five schools (Edison, West Springfield, South County, Hayfield, and Annandale) would be allocated 100 seats at the proposed center. The working assumption is that would alleviate crowding and potentially reduce the need for the Lake Braddock/Robinson redistricting. One wrinkle is that Annandale's feeder is a 6-8 and the others are all 7-8. It may just get the additional school from Lee and Woodson and not participate in the program, fwiw. If that's the case, only four schools would participate and they'd get more seats.

They are doing research into the program as a contingency plan. IIRC, a lot depends on whether Lee's performance tracks the current e-cart performance assessment has been seeing.

The idea is being developed, but I don't think it will happen unless the crap hits the fan, fwiw.

This plan would give Springfield Estates to Edison, Saratoga to South County, Crestwood and Lynbrook to West Springfield, leaving Forestdale for Hayfield.  Would be so unfair to give Springfield Estates to Edison since they are already getting a center at Bush Hill (and already has two local level 4's, an immersion school and an academy in its zone).  Just looking at the map, you can see which schools would go where.  Ugg.  what a mess.  Hayfield is already in a teetering position and can least afford to take a low-performing school.  Edison is similarly situation, but if it gets Springfield Estates, that's a boost, not a drag.  South County and West Springfield are better positioned to take one low-performer.  [/quote]

What about Saratoga and Garfield to West Springfield? Move South County HS boundaries to pick up Lorton Station and all of Halle from Hayfield, then give SEES and Forestdale to Hayfield. Lynbrook to Edison, and Crestwood to either Edison or Annandale. That kind of screws Annandale even more though. [/quote]

Crazy spider leg, gerrymandered school zones screws all of the kids. [/quote]

They really should move some areas back into Annandale from Woodson and Lake Braddock if they're going to give Annandale even more high FARMS, high ESOL elementaries. [/quote]
