So you just sit back and watch the county add almost all the affordable housing in the Tysons area to the Marshall district.  I'm sure everyone who purchased a house zoned for GCM knew this was what the BOS and SB always had in mind.  In a few years they'll move the most expensive parts of the Marshall district to Madison, too.  [/quote]

I'm glad you now understand what those of us at Annandale, Lewis, Mt Vernon, and Justice have gone through. Although I know most people in the Marshall pyramid don't care about those four pyramids, I hope this had made them aware of the immense disparity that is created between neighboring schools when the Board decides to concentrate one pyramid with poverty and avoids assigning poverty at the adjacent school. FCPS is currently a "Two Fairfax" model and Marshall may be on the way to joining the "wrong" side of FCPS.

This is why the battle for equity is the only way all schools win. The only fair solution to avoid some schools being completely undesirable is to make all schools equally desirable.[/quote]
