[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody is going to like a massive boundary change, that's just the truth.

I will say for the second or third time on this thread that the general Langley focus is not to be broken up and send kids to different places.  If there is capacity, send whatever kids make the most sense to fill that gap, Tysons, whatever it may be.  The Langley focus is to keep the neighborhood feeling that exists in Great Falls.

It doesn't fit the narrative here or the attaching of motive that is really easy to sell in the current political environment (wealthy person is to blame for any problems in the world) but that's not the truth.  Great Falls has a unique neighborhood feel in part due to it's natural boundary of Rte 7 that makes it feel like a neighborhood more than most places in FXCO or the DC area.  you don't know when you have crossed over from Herndon to Reston, for instance but you do feel that you enter a neighborhood when you enter Great Falls and that is what people are trying to protect.  Everyone here buys knowing that in some cases Langley is a bit of a drive but do it anyway and don't care.

Tell GF that they don't have to split up the community and backfill the extra capacity with whatever you feel is reasonable[/quote]

A large percentage of Langley students are currently being bussed 16+ miles to Langley. We are keeping the current boundaries why again?[/quote]
