[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently Lemon Road is in need of PTA volunteers.  Will we get any with the new families Freedom Hill?  I'm guessing not because those parents tend to be too busy and/or don't speak english.  The fact that FCPS is only looking at two schools to me means that they aren't serious about making sure all of their schools are of high quality and a good diversity.[/quote]

Eventually the answer clearly will be "yes.". But if the first group of kids reassigned are from the area off Pimmit Drive and Los Pueblos, the parents are less likely to be the involved types for the reasons you mentioned - job demands and limited English skills.

Fairfax has never tried to make sure all of their schools are diverse, but they've usually tried not to change the demographics at a particular school radically with a single redistricting.  That's why they usually supply charts with pre- and post-redistricting projections before seeking final approval of a proposal.  They want to show that the short-term impacts are fairly incremental.
