[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][b]What should be considered is dropping the idea that Graham Road needs to be in its attendance zone[/b]. Put everyone back where they were. Send SPA 5021 from Pine Spring to Timber Lane. Send SPA 5018 from Graham Road to Pine Spring. I don’t know if that will get them all under 105%, but it keeps all impacts within the FCHS pyramid. It screws over that one neighborhood that wants to go to elementary school together, though.[/quote]

Wow.  I don't live near that area--though I am a little familiar with it.
I remember when the community begged to keep the school at the old site.  Why?  Because it was truly a community school.

I was a Title I teacher.  Do you have any idea how difficult it can be for families to access a school that is outside their community?  Those are the communities who need a school close by.

DP, but dropping the idea that Graham Road needs to be in its attendance area is what would put the poorer community closer to their school.  The latest FCPS proposal takes that community - Kingsley Commons - and turns it into a new attendance island zoned for another school further away.  [/quote]
