[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now I'd like GFCA to put out a letter about their Western High scenario. I am guessing they are the ones who put in the comment into the boundary tool about moving McNair and Coates into Herndon HS. Which is never going to happen.[/quote]
Cute conspiracy theory. They don’t have a position on the school. Most people in great falls don’t care about the school because it doesn’t affect us directly. There are a few people who question the costs for the school, just like the school board members have done recently.[/quote]
Didn't they put out a letter saying it should be a magnet school? Or was that just the Nextdoor lady?[/quote]
Glad you asked, the group that put out a letter saying it should be a magnet school was a Democratic Party-aligned group not based in Great Falls.

I assume you’ll now spend significant amount of time attacking the democratically-aligned organization with the same vigor with which you attack great falls, right?  Right?

Herrity’s GOP piece claiming the western HS is not needed was ghost written by a Great Falls resident.

IDK who wrote that.  Herrity added in Herndon which distorts the numbers and included modulars [2005 installs at Chantilly and Centreville] for the other schools.  Using the CIP28-29 Langley 2285+ SY24-25 Spring Hill Island 201-2485.  Divide by program capacity 106%, design 105%.

There are concurrent and uncoordinated boundary processes at play:
1. comprehensive which has the BRAC 
2, Poe as an AAP center.  FCPS scoped it to include CIP projected membership which makes Poe 109% capacity utilization.  That excludes the Thru/Reid/BRAC add in of 72 Poe base school students.  Vote is 12/18.
3. Western HS- that should have been on scenario 4.  AP comprehensive HS that includes some extra STEM POS. No magnet.
4. AAP centers at all MS - this should have been done for scenario 4 especially considering the huge volume of AAP transfers into Rocky Run and Carson.  Recently R Anderson asked about the gr 6-8 at other MS.  Reid stated not possible with AAP served in house at base schools.

BRAC members, added non pyramid reps, Fairfax County Fed of citizens associations I guess you have to check where each lives plus any FCPS advisory committee roles.   Who benefits from what?

Failed blockade attempt on AAP in all MS [only NO vote was Meren whose South Lakes has a huge benefit from Herndon]:

The report you can read mentioned in the position paper dealt with cluster grouping, honors classes, critical mass.  Completely ignored the massive numbers  transferring.

Failed blockade attempt on Western as a comprehensive HS:  https://e0ff9d40-649b-4488-a1e0-677cf444a6de.filesusr.com/ugd/8bf868_d128de909f284981a476bef5d4429396.pdf
