[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The school reflects the population that attends the school when the boundaries are drawn and then adjusted over the years to[b] ensure [/b]a particular demographic.[/quote]

Or, when the boundary is logical due to geography and enrollment.

Hmm.  That might be Chantilly.  Certainly not Langley. [/quote]

If you have a proposal for a better boundary that keeps Langley at a reasonable enrollment and materially increases diversity (or whatever other metric may be important), please share.  But please also account for the other school boundary changes that would be needed to make that work too.  If you look at where Langley is located -- and where the other high schools around Langley (i.e. McLean and Marshall) are located -- it is hard to see a reasonable way to fill Langley (it isn't even close to full now) without a large boundary and bussing someone a long distance.[/quote] Langley’s boundary is very shallow on the east and southern side. They could have easily included the Tyson’s portion of Springhill in the most recent change and yet they only chose to include SFH areas in the transfer. They could have included the Westgate students that currently attend McLean and move them to Langley, but they did not. Both of those areas are far closer to Langley than Great Falls. [/quote]
