[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Robyn Lady responds to the Region 5/Forestville controversy:

[i]At the most recent BRAC meeting, representatives from each region presented their respective priorities. I was surprised to learn that one of Region 5's priorities was to recommend the redistricting of Forestville Elementary School from its current pathway to Herndon Middle School and Herndon High School.

This recommendation is problematic for two reasons:

1. It was not an official draft proposal. This suggestion was not included in any of the potential boundary change maps shared with the community for feedback.

2. It does not reflect our community's feedback. The priorities identified for Region 1 are based directly on the extensive feedback received from our constituents. This new suggestion is entirely separate from any identified needs.

Furthermore, I had the opportunity to discuss this situation directly with Superintendent Dr. Reid over the weekend. She shared that while each region is invited to share their priorities, it does not guarantee their implementation. Dr. Reid noted that since the current models all have Forestville remaining in the Langley pyramid and Langley is not considered to be overcrowded, she does not see that boundary likely to be recommended for change.

I will continue to advocate for the interests of our community. I believe it is critical that the committee focuses on addressing the priorities that have been articulated by the families and staff within each region. The integrity of the boundary review process depends on each representative's commitment to this principle.[/i][/quote]

Good for Robyn Lady.  Has Frisch provided any similar assurances to the Timber Lane community or will they continue to treat McLean as the county’s punching bag - redistricted more than other high schools with minimal investment in the facilities?
