[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The draft is posted on board docs. They backed away from a lot of scenario 4. [/quote]

Not us - so our high school kids are being moved unnecessarily.  Clearly not worth any more of our effort indicating why move is unnecessary and not a good idea as they are going to do what they are going to do and probably the move in our case is popular for many families with Wolftrap elementary school students.

I wish they just drew the Kilmer line along the existing Marshall line and left it at that. Instead Kilmer remains a split feeder with the 2 Westbriar/Madison SPAs left behind and there’s a big gapping hole in the map. Madison will become a richer school and Marshall will lose a large portion of UMC families. [/quote]

Years ago before they moved a large chunk of Jackson into Thoreau, it seemed like they could have aligned Marshall's boundaries with Kilmer's and Madison's boundaries with Thoreau's.  The opposite (aligning Kilmer's boundaries with Marshall's and Thoreau's boundaries with Madison's) was less feasible because both Thoreau and Kilmer are physically located in the Marshall district.

It would have made for a clean MS/HS feeder pattern, and it would have kept these UMC areas at Wolftrap at Kilmer/Marshall.  But the Town of Vienna parents zoned for Kilmer/Madison would have objected, just as they did when Scenario 4 came out. [/quote]
