[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of all the options presented option B appears to make the most sense.  It alleviates some of the overcrowding at Mclean but does not add too much to the numbers at Cooper/Langley.  Long term an addition is needed at Mclean but this at least makes the overcrowding there less dangerous.  Option B seems like a good compromise.[/quote]

It's what the people in single-family houses who now want to bail on McLean due to the multi-year neglect and overcrowding like.  And it keeps Langley free of any apartments.  [/quote]

I am a Mclean family and I still like this option the best.  I could care less if my kids attend school with teens who live in apartments or teens who live in SFH.  just looking at the boundary maps, having the Colvin Run kids attend Mclean is dumb...

Also, the Cooper addition will only allow for so many more kids...option A seems too small but option C looks like too many kids....option D is NOT an option....[/quote]

dumb boundary maps are an FCPS speciality- look at the island attached to Ft Hunt elementary [/quote]

Builders are known for bribing officials, and officials are happy to take the money to gerrymander.  And the builder gets to say that their new subdivision is in (Langley.Mclean, whatever).  Gross and obvious.[/quote]

I know there were builders over the past decade or so who lobbied to try and get FCPS staff to make administrative boundary changes to reassign new developments from Marshall to Langley and then Herndon to Langley and failed in both instances. [b] The carve-outs on the other side of Route 7 zoned to Langley in Herndon, Reston, and Vienna go back many years[/b]. [/quote]

Alot of it goes back to the Aldrin opening and before that what to do with Shouse.   Most of it makes zero sense.  Colvin Run opening and boundary meetings were dismal.  Before that opened Spring Hill had a residency clean out audit-  70 to 100 students were removed.  Some from out of state some from all over the county etc.  There were  posts on DCUM where people used other addresses for their kids to enroll at Mclean.  If it happened once it still happens.  FCPS is too PC.

Here's another and current FCPS just too weird. https://www.tollbrothers.com/luxury-homes-for-sale/Virginia/Arden
That is across Route 7 from the access roads leading to Colvin Run and is assigned to Spring Hill, Cooper, Langley.  Sales center is 1367 Tate Modern Lane, Great Falls, VA 22066  If not across 7 and down Towlston a walker would be .5 miles from this under capacity school.  Instead Brabrand and this school board will NOT do an administrative boundary change.  Colvin Run is undercapacity.

This is total incompetency.  It is  just as stupid as busing Whitman walkers who can see the site from their houses to Sandburg. [/quote]

That area has always been zoned for Spring Hill - Towlston Rd is the dividing line.  While it makes sense for those students to attend Colvin Run, it would have required a boundary change.
