[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally understand people wanting to stay in their current school.  But, that is not the way this is supposed to work.

If they keep Crossfield at Oakton, they are going to have this over and over again--just like Langley folks who live in Herndon--two miles from Herndon High.

There is no good, objective reason to leave Crossfield neighborhoods at Oakton.  Not one.[/quote]
Oh look, it’s your same tired talking points that try to minimize families’ voices. 🙄[/quote]

Objectively, families' voices shouldn't be taken into consideration because they are just a snapshot in time.[/quote]

If families voices give objective reasons to stay where they are, that is valid.

The problem is that most are giving emotional reasons.  That is not valid.

Distance, numbers, etc, should drive the decisions.

The only real caveat I see is IB vs AP.  Hard to argue that they are the same.[/quote]

If you ignore people’s voices, that’s not a democracy. [/quote]

+1.

The social justice warriors (both of them that post here) consistently complain that the school board is listening to families and that the unnecessary changes keep shrinking in size. They don’t want democracy, they want to upset the Apple cart because farms rates are different at some schools. They want to destroy the system first, then have a subpar education for all.[/quote]

You're literally making up phantom posters to fight with.  That's just agit prop, not a discussion.  [/quote]
You think that it is communist propaganda to state that there have been two posters lurking on these discussion boards for years advocating to move boundaries based on equity? You either aren’t familiar with these forums or I’m throwing a reverse uno card at you.[/quote]

What about moving boundaries based on proximity and available space?[/quote]

The first steps before any of this should have been Coates, Then AAP in every middle school and eliminaing IB except for one opt in program so that no students go out of boundary for middle school AAP and the poorer performing schools would stop hemmoraging strong students who are escaping IB.

After taking 1 year to accomplish adding AAP middle school issue and eliminating the IB loophole, then do a countywide residency check at any high school still over 105% capacity, before schedules are issued at Open House.

Once the residency check is complete, then FCPS can look at rezoning,  only at schools still over 105% after all out of bounds students and non residents are sent back to their base schools, with rezoning limited to a specific order:

1st, split feeders and attendance islands

If more rezoning is needed, fcps can look at the neighborhoods located farthest from the high school/closest to an equivalent quality adjacent school.

The process should be concrete and logical.

Rising seniors, juniors and sophomores should be grandfathered.

Rising freshmen should go to the new high school, even if they are at the secondary schools

Another reverse engineered process that would offer up some schools and communities to be ripped apart but protect your own school, which likely already got an expansion we all paid for. [/quote]
