[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP do you work in FCPS/on the board etc?  If not, how would you know?  But I do think that moving town of Vienna away from Madison would NEVER work- the town would never approve this and residents would also be effective in their displeasure.[/quote]p

Neither the Town nor its residents are some all-powerful political force.  If you want your own schools, incorporate as a city like Falls Church or Alexandria.  Otherwise, you have to accept that you can be redistricted just like anyone else.  Vienna Woods used to go to Oakton and there was a point years ago when the School Board came within a few votes of moving all of both Wolftrap and Westbriar, including parts of the Town, to Marshall.  There is no middle or high school within the Town limits or which Town residents have any special right to attend.

This only came up because someone was complaining about the split feeders at Kilmer and Thoreau.  You can leave the current boundaries as they are, but the chances right now of getting all Town kids zoned for Thoreau are nil.  The focus over the next few years will be on setting up new AAP programs at Thoreau and other schools to relieve crowding at Jackson and Kilmer, not changing the base boundaries to appease people in the Town of Vienna.
