[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the type of issue where “progressive” young parents in their 30’s first encounter liberal polices first hand.

You may have voted Dem without thinking twice your entire life, but if you like me have worked hard and sacrificed to afford a house in a school district you chose, you have to realize that there is a good chance your kids may be re-zoned into a different school in the name of “social justice” in the next 5-10 years.

You bought in Oakton / Langley Pyramid? - Herndon
You wanted your kids to go to Woodson / Lake Braddock?  - they are now heading to Annandale 
You though they were going to McLean? - it’s now Stuart / Justice
West Springfield is now Lee

This isn’t hyperbole, at the last working meeting they specifically reviewed changes to policy documents that would allow for widespread boundary changes in the name of “racial composition of students”, changing it from "socioeconomic characteristics of schools."

If you are ok with your children being part of this experiment then I applaud you on standing by your morals, sacrificing your child’s education and home value to serve idea I guess is a laudable act.

Please keep all of this in mind when you vote for School Board and County positions this fall. This election is going to be the biggest change in power in FFX county since the 1970’s with so many incumbents not seeking re-election.

Let's look at these one by one.

FCPS has expanded or is expanding Oakton, Herndon and Langley, and Langley is under-enrolled, so it's unlikely Oakton or Langley kids will get moved to Herndon.

There are areas at Lake Braddock and Woodson that used to go to Annandale, so no one should be surprised if the decide at some point to send ome neighborhoods back to Annandale.

The only school to which kids at overcrowded McLean will be moving is Langley and they aren't going to leapfrog the Falls Church district to send kids to Justice.

They've moved kids from Lee to West Springfield in recent years, so they could move kids from West Springfield to Lee at some point, too.  But West Springfield also was just expanded, so that's less likely than it would have been if they'd just renovated WSHS.

Older topic... But:

Which areas of Woodson HS and Lake Braddock HS used to go to Annandale HS?  We are looking to buy, and I would like to make that a part of my knowledge base.  Thanks so much.[/quote]

Wakefield Forest ES used to be a split feeder to Annandale and Woodson and Ravensworth ES used to be a split feeder to Annandale and Lake Braddock.

There might be other areas.  Those are the ones I recall.

While anything is possible, do folks consider reverting those areas to the original school districts to be likely?[/quote]

No.  The local Democrats talk “equity” and practice segregation. [/quote]

This is so true. AAP is a prime example. [/quote]
