[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Pekarsky in the Chantilly pyramid?  Tholen is a TJ/Langley parent, and really only cares about those two schools, but I thought Pekarsky had kids in the Chantilly pyramid.

The School Board as a whole has the attention span of a gnat when it comes to operations and facilities.  It doesn't get their juices going like renaming schools or telling Youngkin to shove it when it comes to gender issues.  [/quote]

I doubt the FCPS school board will do anything about Chantilly, a long term problem.  Frankly, I was shocked that this board allowed a boundary change from Mclean to Langley - the Shouse Village area that was an island.  That was for 2022-23.  The only other boundary change in this huge county wide school division in my recent memory was for 2021-22 for some elementary schools in the Justice pyramid https://www.fcps.edu/about-fcps/facilities-planning-future/school-boundary-adjustments/proposed-justice-pyramid

As part of the FCPS legislative package the SB intends to lobby for boundary processes and school assignments by address that result in demographic integration.  This is referenced in the package https://cecr.ed.psu.edu/sites/default/files/School_Segregation_by_Boundary_Line_in_Virginia_Nov_2020.pdf
" Establish an office or department in VDOE to support voluntary integration and 
reduce segregation within and between schools"  Could mean irregular or non geographic boundaries.  FCPS SB's did seem to have an unwritten rule - nothing out of Langley if it went to a Herndon or South Lakes pyramid school.  Under Tholen, new resdiences in Dranesville bucked the precedent and were sent to Herndon pyramid.  Gibsion, a prior SB member-Hunter Mill- had 1 Reston new dev flipped to Forest Edge1st marketed as Langley then Herndon pyramids], 1 to Forestville/Langley, 1 to Forest Edge.

That last one was interesting since the new road connected to a Langley dev  and it took the county snow plow guys to remove the concrete barricade.  [b]All politicians and cronies on committees were Democrats.  I don't know the political affiliation of the snow plow or VDOT guys. [/b][/quote]
