[quote=Anonymous][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]

It would be interesting to see from a survey of parents at McLean/Marshall/Herndon, etc whether they would be willing to have the additional commute to attend Langley. I am a TJ parent and have always been amazed at the commutes TJ families are willing to put up with to attend. [/quote] Some McLean students would have a shorter commute to Langley. The two schools are only 3 miles apart.
