[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Add more diversity" to Langley?  I assume you mean non-white, non-Asian?  What kind of powers might the school board have to make that happen?  [/quote]

If the School Board could find ways to justify sending white kids in Great Falls near the Loudoun border to Langley, they can find ways to boost the ESOL and FARMS rates there, too.  Just look at the map.

It would be a good reality check for the people there who don't seem to realize that they live in a bubble of privilege of how jarring it is when they claim that they are not getting their fair share. [/quote]

The boundary for Langley and Herndon used to be Spring Vale rd.  Zoom on the maps to see the streets and school locations: http://www.fcps.edu/images/boundarymaps/langleyhs.pdf  http://www.fcps.edu/images/boundarymaps/herndonhs.pdf
Parts of north Reston went to Forestville before Aldrin was built.  Unfortunately in the 1960's FCPS built Langley at it's current location.  Based on geography, location of construction since 1990,  and where people actually live it does not make sense to have done/do any capacity expansion at the Langley site.

Simply ridiculous.  Various redistrictings for including Herndon, South Lakes, etc all the way down to Westfields should have included portions of the Langley attendance area.
There are some ludicrous boundaries even for elementary schools.

Who ever the PP's are suggesting look at maps they obviously have not done map exercises.  People would and have fought to stay in herndon and won't vacate willingly.[/quote]
