[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I pay Fairfax County taxes, you bet my student should be able to attend any school that has space as long as she isn’t relying on bus transportation - especially if the other school provides a desired program or language not offered at her base school. How can the county legally refuse?[/quote] You are zoned for your school. You have specific options available if you want a program not offered by your school. So if you attend Robinson and want AP, you can't go across county to Langley. You go to the closest AP school open to transfers. That is a reasonable accommodation.[/quote] That may be the County’s “policy”, but that doesn’t mean it’s legal. It’s just a matter of time before it’s challenged. The “I paid more for my house in McLean so I deserve the better school” defense won’t hold water. [/quote]
