I am all in favor of a redistricting across the entire county. Lets shift all the boundaries so that over enrolled schools see relief and under enrolled schools see their seats being used. Families who are unhappy with their new schools are welcome to move to Private but the boundaries, as they stand right now, are bullshit.

I see you truly do want to create a school board reckoning, and get the superintendent fired to boot.

"Families who are unhappy with their new schools are welcome to move to Private" ... as if there are enough privates to absorb all the kids whose families would like to switch and as if everyone could afford it. Funding doesn't follow kids.[/quote]

When they've played games this long, no one would want to be the one left holding the bag if they were to change course and just make full use of existing capacity.

So let's assume there are 5000 grumpy taxpayers who don't want to spend another dollar on capital improvements until full use is made of existing capacity and favor county-wide redistricting to make that happen (which, at the high school level, would entail a massive shift of students in northern and western Fairfax to southern Fairfax).

They'll still be 10,000 parents who don't want their schools to be the ones that get no money, when they've already seen how much FCPS has been spending on other schools.  And there will be 10,000 more who'll object to the boundary changes.  Guess which ones are likely to be the most vocal.  [/quote]
