[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are West Springfield/Lewis and Langley/Herndon boundaries back in play now that we have School Board members like Dunne saying the October maps are going to be “substantially different” from the Thru proposals released in May?

They really do know how to waste people’s time and money. We very much regret having bought in Fairfax County. [/quote]
West Springfield, maybe, because THRU has already thrown out their current recommendation due to the split feeder. Langley/Herndon? Doubtful. [/quote]

WS’s boundaries are in play if they create a split feeder moving 35% of Hunt Valley to South County. There’s also a proposal to close the Rolling Valley split feeder by sending the whole thing to Saratoga, but that’s just at the elementary level as those neighborhoods already nominally attend Key/Lewis. But didn’t Sandy Anderson stick her neck out for that one and say she would not only try to keep them at RV but also try to get them back to Irving/WS? Interesting times … [/quote]

She did. She continues to bring up the RV pocket and bringing them to WSHS when talking to families who are concerned about being redistricted out of WSHS. It’s a, “but we have to help these kids” talking point that isn’t going over well with other groups who are advocating for their own children. [/quote]

So if I'm following Thru proposed to move the 106 Rolling Valley kids at Key/Lewis to Saratoga to eliminate the split feeder, and her response is that she's going to find a way to eliminate the split feeder by moving them to Irving/West Springfield instead.  On its face, that suggest she'd pull roughly 60 kids out of under-enrolled Lewis (although we can debate whether many of those families currently find a way to avoid Lewis), which isn't something that St. John-Cunning and others will support unless there's a separate but not yet disclosed plan to move other WSHS kids into Lewis?

Is that the gist of it?  It's insane that we're already so many months into this boundary review and yet so much uncertainty continues to exist.  Reid should be fired, and these School Board members should never hold public office again.
