[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many years ago, before SCMS/HS opened, there were some neighborhoods off Gambrill south of the Parkway that were zoned HV/Key/Lewis. I think people are afraid of going back to that, and there was a rumor last summer that all of HVES was going to be rezoned to Lewis.

To be fair, those moves haven’t been on any of the map proposals so far. To come out with that now would be entirely out of left field. But, also to be fair, Anderson has made noise about closing the RVES split feeder by keeping them at RV and sending them to Irving/WSHS, whereas right now they are at RV/Key/Lewis (nominally … a lot of families move before that can become an issue). This change also isn’t on any maps so far but has been specifically mentioned by her at meetings. The current proposals are to close the RV split by sending them to Saratoga ES, which already fully feeds to key/Lewis without a split feeder. This would leave RVES quite under capacity, and Anderson doesn’t seem keen on advocating for RV to get something like a language or other magnet program to fill the excess seats. [/quote]

I believe that is incorrect. We're in the Middle Valley neighborhood off Gambrill and when South County opened, our neighborhood lobbied the school board to move the kids back to WSHS because they were going from Hunt Valley ES to Irving MS to Lee HS (now Lewis). They didn't go to Key. So the kids were losing all their friends after middle school. That was 19 years ago and the SB moved the neighborhoods back to WSHS (where they went before getting moved to Lee).[/quote]
