[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone understand what they did with Rolling Valley? I looks like they moved the small split feeder group that is currently zone to RV/Key/Lewis to Saratoga/Key/Lewis BUT it looks like they did not include the townhomes north of the fairfax county parkway in that. That would mean that small group of townhomes students would be the only kids at Rolling Valley going to Key/Lewis. That seems odd to me - to make a split feeder even smaller. But they didn't report any changes for Irving/WSHS, so if they were moving those kids to RV/Irving/WS, I think that would be indicated. [/quote]
That’s a good point. Closing the Rolling Valley split feeder is not mentioned in the bullet points either. I’m just baffled at these examples where they were 1 or 2 SPAs away from resolving an imbalanced feeder pattern only to make it even more imbalanced. They did the same thing with Kilmer MS, which previously fed 12-15% to Madison and now will feed &lt;5%. [/quote]

For the Kilmer / Thoreau issue they need to modify so that Wolftrap splits at the middle school level - those assigned to Madison go to Thoreau and those assigned to Marshall go to Kilmer.  They would then move the &lt;5 percent group you reference at Kilmer to Thoreau and those students would feed into Madison.[/quote]
Oakton parents at Thoreau should really be paying attention to this. If all of Wolftrap is moved to Thoreau, it all but guarantees Oakton will get punted to Jackson when MS AAP no longer has centers. They can’t put Thoreau so far over capacity when there are 140 AAP students transferring out to centers that will need to come back. [/quote]Hence why I have been suggesting for a separate pyramid Oakton Middle School.

Thoreau will CRY for it![/quote]
