[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So there was a meeting in Lorton station December 17th. I missed that. [/quote]

Where was that posted?[/quote]

I just checked their FB page and found this in the comments:

“I'll email to slides to the PTO email list (are you on it?) but the school board shared several scenarios where 140 new students will shift from Halley ES to Lorton Station ES, which would put us at 99% capacity. I didn't see any scenarios where shifting the 140 students to other elementary schools is being considered - we weren't able to determine why only our school was in consideration. There were also scenarios for Lorton Station ES kids to shift from Hayfield to South County.”

I’m sure this goes back to the “where is Hagel Circle ending up” debate. I don’t know why they’d shift LSES kids to South County - LSES is a pretty large school and wouldn’t necessarily suffer like a smaller elementary if it were to become a split feeder, but maybe this is just to add more students to SCMS/HS if Hagel Circle ends up at LSES and Hayfield.

The original scenarios created by the SB and BRAC before Thru’s scenarios did have Hagel Cir. At Lorton Station and Hayfield - it was only when Thru got involved that they tried to shift them to Gunston and keep them at South County. There was speculation here that the influential Mason Neck group would get involved to ensure no more students were added to Gunston and that may have been what happened. [/quote]

You are quite confusing, what is your position with Hagel Circle? [/quote]

Who cares what my position is? It’s not my school either way. I’m in the pyramid but not directly affected. FWIW I think they should end up at Lorton Station, the county should make some road improvements to connect the rear of Hagel farthest from Rt. 1 directly to Lorton Rd. (Which would make for a very quick bus ride or even a walk), and that the Saratoga LSES AAP students should attend Springfield Estates AAP like the rest of their pyramid. But we all know FCPS would never make such a bold move. They love the convoluted status quo. [/quote]
