[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that those in favor of the adjustment cannot give good, valid reasons why it is needed.  FCPS will spend buckets of money on this.[/quote]

A)Some schools are over capacity.
B)Some schools are under capacity.
Schools A and B share boundaries.
The end.[/quote]

Agreed. And just based on what they’ve done with the attendance islands so far, I don’t think they are screaming EQUITY. Some gain richer neighborhoods which debunks this being their ONLY and top reason. [/quote]

Some seem obviously driven by equity goals but regardless of that fact if they are making unnecessary changes, including changes that seem anti-equity, it’s not a good thing.

I’m going to point out again that some of the changes to address the evil attendance islands create new split feeders, require kids to travel longer distances, and/or widen capacity issues. If they take two schools that are in the 80-90% capacity range, and propose changes that put one school over 100% and another closer to 70%, they are just setting things up for yet more changes down the road.
