[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VOF was a fringe group because the rhetoric it used to oppose boundary changes was extreme and the support its endorsed candidates received was limited. Dranesville has 30 precincts and only [b]three in the western most part of Great Falls[/b] that feed into Langley voted for Karloutsos.  All the other precincts in Dranesville went for Tholen, including every precinct that feeds into Herndon, McLean, Marshall or Westfield.  It doesn’t mean those precincts necessarily want boundary changes, but voters in those areas felt less vulnerable to redistricting and rejected VOF’s over-the-top language. [/quote]

You mean Seneca, Forestville, and Hickory precincts?  Sugarland has Dranesville Herndon addresses that vote at Herndon HS and some residences are assigned to Forestville/Langley.  Also look at Precincts in Hunter Mill  233 North Point and 240 Colvin.

Great Falls and Hickory voters can still have  FCPS issues with elementary school boundaries stemming from the Colvin Run boundaries and program placement.  A very long time ago a principal put in JIP at Great Falls and then went to Aldrin when that school opened.  That makes two schools that didn't want JIP when they opened - Aldrin and Colvin Run.  Each in better locations for program transfers. The fact that 2 new schools opened and principals said NO on moving that operational program to their new school succinctly presents the negative impact on the school as a whole.  What experienced principal given the honor of opening a new school  turns down program money?  Any other examples?[/quote]
