[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in complete agreement that pockets of high-income families should not be "gerrymandered" in to the schools they want, but that is not the case for these few Rolling Valley subdivisions that go to Key/Lee. If, for instance, those subdivisions were high rise apartments with low income families I would absolutely feel the same way - that those few kids who spent 7 years at Rolling Valley building friendships, community, and support networks not to mention belonging to the same pools, sports teams, and churches as the RVES kids that go to West Springfield HS should absolutely be able to continue on with their community.

It's such a tiny group of people. If it were more equal then a split is fine, but it's only a very small group of kids. [/quote]

Again, identify the other West Springfield families you are prepared to move to Lee if these Lee families move to West Springfield. Of all the split feeders FCPS could choose to eliminate, this one ought to be pretty far down the list.[/quote]

The easy ones should be the first to be eliminated, the ones like Daventry and this Rolling Valley neighborhood where it just affects a handful of kids (fewer than a dozen per grade) on just a few streets.

Those are the most logical and easiest to correct. They impact very few people and do not affect capacity from the losing school or the gaining schools.
