I can't help think that you are trying to bait people into an argument with your dramatic word choice.  It was expected -- and INTENDED -- that LJMS's enrollment would in fact drop when kids were required to move over to another MS.  And kids were going to be required to move OUT of LJMS because it was overcrowded!

Your whole issue is that you wanted more of the poor kids moved out of LJMS.  And the decision didn't go your way. 
 But, let's not forget that the whole point of rezoning is to effect a reduction in enrollment at the school that is overcrowded.  Somebody had to be moved out.  And on the corollary -- somebody had to be moved over to TMS.

There was a school that was far undercapacity next to a school that was far overcapacity.  300-ish kids from the over-capacity school had to move out.  Which kids?  You had two groups -- those who are part of Oakton HS and those who are part of Falls Church.  It wouldn't make any sense to take 300 Falls Church kids out of LJMS and send them to TMS.

At the base of this rezoning decision was the need to remove 300 kids from LJMS.

The answer given was:  the kids who are not in this pyramid long term.
