[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Strauss has a lot of low-income schools in Herndon in her district. She consistently votes to allocate more money to those schools and other low-income schools. As for her backyard, she's kept a Title I elementary school zoned to the high school for her own neighborhood, although that school is closer to two other high schools. [/quote]

She sure did not want her affluent neighborhoods (very close to South Lakes) sent to South Lakes during the boundary change.  A couple of them were the logical choice.

So, again, your problem is that she hasn't been progressive enough?  Because her Republican opponents would have kept Langley out of the South Lakes redistricting, found a way to redistrict the Title I school zoned for McLean to another high school, and pushed to redistribute FCPS resources away from Strauss's other Title I schools in Herndon.

Not to mention that, had some of the Langley neighborhoods been moved to South Lakes in 2008, South Lakes or other crowded schools in western Fairfax would be even more crowded now, and Langley, which was the third smallest high school in the county last year, would be even more below capacity.

Langley needs to take Tysons and the BOS needs to encourage more apartments in the Langley district. FCPS needs to build another high school out west.[/quote]
