[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've listened to people whine about the split feeders at Thoreau (90% Madison/10% Marshall) and Kilmer (85% Marshall/15% Madison) for years, and looked closely at the school locations and boundaries.  At the end of the day, the only reason why the boundaries aren't aligned is that some people zoned for Madison would have a hissy fit if they were redistricted to Marshall, and don't care if the current split feeders tear some kids away from the vast majority of their middle school classmates.

It is what it is.  It would be easy to align Madison's boundaries with Thoreau's, and Marshall's with Kilmer's.  It would mean that some Town residents in NE Vienna already at Kilmer would get moved out of Madison, while Marshall would lose a couple of neighborhoods in the county like Dunn Loring Woods.  But it would eliminate the split feeders.

On the other hand, it would be nonsensical to align Thoreau's boundaries with Madison's, and Kilmer's with Marshall's, as this would mean that the kids living closest to Thoreau would attend Kilmer.  It would also be very difficult to send all the Town students to Thoreau without creating incredibly convoluted boundaries for Kilmer.  Certainly there's nothing about the taxes that Town residents pay for other Town services that would warrant such an effort on the part of FCPS.

Fortunately, you are not driving this bus.  Again- what skin do you have in this to even act like president for a day?  Where are you zoned/live etc?[/quote]
