[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long overdue to redraw HHS boundary. Need to take in more Langley kids. [/quote]

I know a family that lives in the shadow of Herndon High School and are zoned for Langley, 12 miles away. Ridiculous what these snobs get away with.[/quote]

When Great Falls west of Springvale was moved to Langley in 1994, Herndon was overcrowded, Langley had capacity, and there was a certain logic for everything off Georgetown Pike going to the same school.

I do understand some of the small pockets of Herndon and Reston on the other side of Route 7 had earlier School Board members doing favors for them to get them into Langley.

It can be reversed now if enrollment projections are trending in the opposite direction and Herndon now has extra capacity, but it wasn’t like Forestville as a whole schemed 30 years ago to get out of Herndon, as much as you might like to vilify Great Falls.

Alternatively, they could add capacity to McLean, leave Langley alone, and use the extra capacity at Herndon to absorb growth near the new Metro stations currently zoned to Westfield. [/quote]

Move this to the boundary thread.[/quote]
