[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

No one needs to be rezoned out of WS for 10 to 12 kids per grade from RV Elementary.

WSHS does not have capacity issues. They are undergoing construction that should be complete around 2020. By the time those RV kids get to High school capacity will be underenrolled.[/quote]

RV should not be moved. [/quote]

Whether or not RV should or should not be moved, WS does not have a capacity issue.  Their issue is completely temporary due to construction.  Any construction caused capacity issues will be over in 2020 when these RV kids get to high school, so arguing about capacity on this one is an invalid argument.

I do not have kids at RV and have no stake in this debate of where the RV kids go, but using the current levels of construction caused capacity issues as the basis for the argument against rezoning 6th graders and younger to WS is illogical.[/quote]
