[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If you want to take the position that we’re cash-strapped and the only sensible approach is to change boundaries to avail of capacity wherever located, then fine, but in that case we should also be looking at ways to move kids in western Fairfax into Herndon and not acquiring the KAA, even at what may seem like a bargain price.[/quote]

Herndon High is not near the area of KAA.  The only school that would likely be close to Herndon High would be Coates.  I don't see the School Board sending Coates to Herndon.

Get rid of IB at South Lakes.  Problem solved.[/quote]

KAA is about 6.5 miles from HHS, which is less than a lot of kids travel now to Oakton and Langley.

They may have had reservations about sending Coates to Herndon but Thru proposed to pull low-income kids out of Fort Hunt and send them to Hybla Valley and to move kids at a Title I school from McLean to Falls Church, so who knows.  It’s moot if Coates ends up at the new school.

People have been suggesting that FCPS eliminate IB at various schools for years and the only thing that’s ever happened is that they’ve added some AP courses at Lewis. I understand the suggestion that it would reduce pupil placements out of Herndon, but good luck convincing them to eliminate it at South Lakes.
