[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emerald chase is not in fact taking over the comments![/quote]
Emerald Chase's current split feeder is one of many West County examples showing how bad FCPS is at capacity, boundaries, or caring at all about community.

From construction until the Coates RD, Emerald Chase was part of Floris that feeds Carson/Westfield.  During the Coates RD, Floris was projected to become overcrowded in the future.  To address that, Emerald Chase was redistricted from Floris to Oak Hill to reduce Floris' future population.

So... How would Floris become overcrowded?  Well... You see... There's this empty field where Discovery Square is planned to be built and it's zoned to Floris.  Ok...  But, Lees Corners is under capacity, it's close to the empty fields planned to become Discovery Square. if we send the future denizens of Discovery Square to Lees Corner ES, we'll solve four problems... We won't force Emerald Chase out of the community they've been part of for a couple decades, we won't add to the West County split feeder problem, we'll address Floris' future capacity problem and we'll utilize Lees Corner excess capacity.  Well...  Lees Corner isn't in the Coates Boundary Study so that's impossible...

Thank you for that back story, didn’t realize that’s what happened.  When I was growing up in Franklin Farm on the other side of the parkway in the 90s, Emerald Chase was Floris-Franklin-Oakton, I had a bunch of friends in that neighborhood. [/quote]
