What is interesting about Emerald Chase is that they are trying to use the process to move the boundary for the HS that they want, which isn't the move suggested or the current location. The problem is they want to move to one of the overcrowded HS and I don't see that happening. I think that bit of politicking is hurting them, but I get it. If FCPS is changing the boundaries, why not try and move to the HS that you are most interested in?

I think there are parents who have been fighting long before the boundary review process to have the high school changed to Chantilly. It's the closest to our neighborhood by far and that's where most of the kids from elementary school go. So it's my impression that it's not that this process came up and people saw an opportunity -- this has been an ongoing effort. [/quote]

There’s a group of parents at Vienna ES doing something similar to try and get moved from Marshall to Madison.  About 7% of Vienna ES feeds to Kilmer/Marshall and Thru is proposing to eliminate the split feeder and send them to Freedom Hill ES, which feeds 100% to Kilmer/Marshall. The parents are asking to stay at Vienna ES but get moved to Thoreau/Madison.  It’s been on their radar for years and now they see an opportunity. [/quote]
