[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could anyone just let me know if any of the Langley boundaries were changed? I am looking to buy and want to make sure I didn’t miss anything from my review of the updates.[/quote]

The consultants retained by FCPS (Thru Consulting) are recommending that an attendance island in north central Tysons that currently feeds into Spring Hill/Longfellow/McLean be reassigned to Cooper/Langley.  The island accounts for about 38% of Spring Hill's enrollment and, had the boundary change been in effect this year, would have moved 201 kids from McLean to Langley.

Thru has not proposed to move anyone out of the current Langley boundaries.  They would just expand the boundaries.

People have offered different opinions as to whether moving this area to Langley will, over time, lead to the western most parts of the current Langley boundaries getting moved into the Herndon pyramid.  There are a number of pending proposals for additional condos and apartments in the area recommended for reassignment.  Great Falls residents advocated vigorously and successfully against FCPS moving this area to Langley in 2021, but they seem to view the reassignment of this area in connection with the current boundary study as inevitable. The focus of their current efforts has been to point out that moving these kids to Cooper/Langley now would not overcrowd either school to the extent warranting boundary changes in the short term.  Langley would be at 102% capacity with the additional students, but it also accepts over 100 pupil placements from other schools for AP and/or foreign languages.  It can shut off that spigot at its discretion and then have more available seats for kids who reside within its catchment area.
