[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is space at FS and we would welcome some KG students.  [b]And as noted this could be done simultaneously with moving the very small Langley part of FS to Churchill Road, which I think they’d favor.[/b]  It would reduce the overcrowding at KG and align the pyramids at the same time.

YES! I grew up in that little triangle that goes from FSES to Cooper. The change happened when I was in 6th grade.  So suddenly, in the middle of our school year, we went from most of my FS class going to Cooper to only 4 of us going to Cooper and it's been like this ever since (nearly 40 years). The only advantage for the kids who head to Cooper is that they actually get a fresh start in Middle School.  But overall, it's really weird.[/quote]

If you move the Langley area of FS to Churchill Road, you’d then have an FS island zoned to McLean east of Kirby Road.  That area could easily move to Chesterbrook, which is both closer and expected to have capacity.  The key would be to move enough KG kids to FS to maintain or increase the FS enrollment even with the FS moves to Churchill Road and Chesterbrook, but I think the numbers could work.

I know people at KG love the school and no one likes other people making decisions for them.  But this seems like a possibility to clean up some boundaries and provide KG with some meaningful relief. [/quote]
