[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dunne’s big shtick originally was that he wanted to eliminate all trailers and modulars, and move kids into under-enrolled schools in southeastern Fairfax, but he doesn’t understand that many people prefer them to getting redistricted.  In any event, the Thru proposals took modular seats into account in calculating capacity, so they aren’t intended to get kids out of modulars.

Now Dunne is encouraging the people who don’t want their kids in schools with modulars to turn on their neighbors and propose brand-new boundary changes that Thru and the BRAC haven’t proposed.  If that happens, it will be chaos and this sordid process will drag out even longer.

[b]All they really should be focusing on now are Coates and boundaries for the new western high school, but they are too befuddled to figure that out. [/quote][/b][/quote]

DP. I agree with this. There's too much uncertainty right now in N Virginia with federal worker cuts, deportations etc. [b]We don't know what the size of the population will be here next year.[/b] Fix the immediate problems and leave the rest until we figure out what's an actual problem.[/quote]

I and other people have brought this up at boundary meetings and one of Dunne’s town halls, and it is always just brushed off. A lot of “we don’t think this is happening” denialism. Well, the official numbers will speak for themselves in a few years - maybe even by the end of this school year. [/quote]

enrollment is already down 4000+ kids from last year. Reid is blaming fear of ICE raids as the reason. [/quote]

A not insignificant # of military families have made the decision to sell/rent vs return to their home based on the boundary review nonsense and general chaos ongoing in NoVA.  This could account for 25% of the down enrollment. Who is buying? Younger families less concerned with boundary and political noise. Who is selling or renting and holding onto that 2.5% mortgage?  Families with middle-high school aged children.  [/quote]

LOL! They don't usually have much of a choice, PP. Stop making things up.[/quote]

+1  But, they may be a lot happier to move than usual.  Frequently, in the past, they decided to stay or retire here because of the schools.  Doubt that is happening now.[/quote]
