[quote=Anonymous]I would hate to see the students and parents of the Edison based kids move out of SEES.  They are a very active and valued part of the SEES community.  In some ways the are the most active parts perhaps b/c they are geographically closer they seem to attend and run more things than parents from the Hayfield pyramid.  SEES seems to be more a part of the Franconia community as it is on Franconia Rd.

I do think SEES will have a void if those parents and kids move out.

But, I understand too, if the number of kids is large enough year after year -- it would make sense to have another center.

Although, that begs the question whether a new center (or even a local level 4) should go to a school in Edison's zone or in Hayfield's zone.   Edison elementary schools are already geographically closer to SEES than the Hayfield elem. schools.  And Edison pyramid already has two local level 4s + an immersion elementary school.  As mentioned in another post, Hayfield has no level 4s, no immersion, and functionally speaking -- no center (since the majority of the kids at Lorton Station are South County kids).  Edison has the AAP middle school.  Hayfield doesn't have an AAP middle school either.  Seems only fair that if Edision pyramid has the AAP middle school center, then maybe Hayfield pyramid should at least have an elementary center that a majority of the AAP-eligible kids can attend within their own pyramid.[/quote]
