[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is another reason why they will probably just move the [b]Colvin Run and Spring Hill areas [/b]to Langley and call it a day. They are both split feeders that already feed primarily into Cooper/Langley.  It won’t change Langley’s demographics much, and it will push up the FARMS rate at McLean slightly, but the kids know each other and Spring Hill does include some apartments.

They can still relocate a modular to McLean and build an addition in a few years.  The McLean area is where more families with kids want to live now, as it’s more affordable and centrally located, and they should keep as many of those kids within the pyramid as possible. [/quote]

I think both used  to go to Langley and are islands for Mclean.  Ebb and flow.   Here's an interesting article with informative comments on the Annandale Blog about FCPS facilities and additions.  One comment notes the holistic boundary approach and it's potential application after building at West Potomac while Mount Vernon has capacity.  https://annandaleva.blogspot.com/2019/09/school-bond-referendum-would-fund.html

"Why not Centreville, Chantilly, or McLean instead? In the long run, the lack of transparency and back-room deals that were cut to favor these schools over others will reduce confidence in the integrity of FCPS's management of scarce resources."  The author understood Justice somewhat but has the typical reaction to that West Potomac political addition.
