[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what the Langley parents think?

[/quote]

They are the ones at the MCA raising it in the first instance.  They are worried about the county up-zoning their neighborhoods and adding density with no commitment to make further investments in the schools, and think Langley could either end up as overcrowded as McLean in a few years.  Obviously they get a receptive audience with some of the McLean folks. [/quote]

Ah, interesting - thank you. Am I correct that Langley parents (who probably actually pay more than McLean in real estate taxes) have more clout? It really always comes back to zoning it seems - schools add a good face argument - but zoning is where the $ is. [/quote]

I don't know who has more "clout."  The current Dranesville supervisor and School Board member both live in the Langley district, and the MCA seems dominated by people who live in the Langley area.  But they are obviously finding a lot of receptivity to exploring a "McLean City" from people who live in the McLean HS areas, as you can see on this thread. [/quote]

Thanks again - and, agreed that this thread generated a lot of emotion - I will wait and see what change actually comes. I chuckle because my in-laws live in the Langley district (long past having school age kids of course) and they will fight any proposal that raises their taxes with the time and energy that only old, rich retired people can muster![/quote]
