[quote=Anonymous]Fox Mill parent here with a kid opting in. There are a mix of folks who opted in. Some are excited. Some the kids want to move with their friends and they liked the school at the open houses. Some are worried about transportation and opted in incase FMES is redistricted to Western so that they have transportation all 4 years of HS.

There are parents of kids who wanted to attend who are not excited, the unknown scare them. There are families planning on going to whatever school is in boundary because transportation is an issue for their family. Western optin was safe because SLHS has not been close to ending pupil placement for IB and the kids were going to be taking IB classes any way.

The County would have had clearer numbers and families more comfortable with things had it set the boundaries with the rest of the redistricting. The County did not do that. So now the County has families who are planning based on how they can use the system to make sure that their kid has transportation for 4 years in HS, which is ridiculous. But an example of how poorly run all of this has been.

FCPS should have used the maps that they developed, picked on, and been done with this in the regular boundary review. [/quote]
