[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Lorton Station the school that hosted the Hagel Circle kids for a year or two?

If so, that is where they should go, not Halley or Gunston.[/quote]

Yup, it’s also the only school where the Hagel Circle kids can walk too. [/quote]

Then Hagel Circle should go to Lorton Circle, especially if it is a poor neighborhood.

Walkability is critical for parent involvement in education when the families don't have reliable transportation.

Before she moves the Hagel Circle to a different school, someone familiar with the background of Hagel Circle getting shuffled around should make Dr. Reid aware of what happened.

In a district always blathering about "equity" Hagel Circle and Coates being ignored are the true equity issues that need to be addressed, not whether your kid has the "heartbreaking" option of WSHS or LBSS, or not whether you are being "so disrupted" by being forced to move to the beautiful brand new high school instead of staying at Oakton.

Excuse me but if there is a septic system issue, then why would they not fix it. There are already students attending the school so if there is an issue the way your portraying it out to be, then no one should go there. It definitely can be repaired.

Second, Lorton Station being walkable is not a reason why it should be chosen. There is a 35-45 min from Hagel Circle to Lorton Station. Hagel circle is entirely fenced in. Check it with google maps or any other software.

Most if not all of Lorton parents drive. Why would walking to school be so critically important.

You know the real reason is because it is a predominantly minority community and like at the meeting on Oct. 22nd, it’s because of the demographics and socio-economic status. Several parents that day mentioned they were afraid the school ratings would go down. Those are bigoted views and you have no right to push Fairfax county residents away from county resources.

I was present at the meeting and witnessed what was said.
