[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many families upset at the boundary changes.  The only ones that seem to be happy are those that are being moved to a school that they view as better than the one they are assigned to. Reid is going to move forward with these changes, talk about how she was able to re-district one of the largest school systems in the country...and then leave FCPS with us living and sorting out the mess.[/quote]

Not necessarily.

Sangster is upset about getting moved to a school virtually equal to WSHS in every metric, that 80% of their community attends and is only 1 mile ish difference in commute time.

People don't want to change schools, even if the schools are equal and attending the new school makes far more sense than their current school, the move fixes overcrowding in the least disruptive way possible for the current overcrowded high school, and the new school is more of a community school for them than attending the school they are currently assigned to.

Rezoning is NOT welcome by the community, even when it makes perfect sense and the new school is equal or better, like the Sangster split feeder and a few other schools.

I think a better observation is that the only people happy with rezoning are those getting moved to a *significantly* better high school, such as the Rolling Valley neighborhood getting rezoned to WSHS from Lewis.[/quote]
