[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scenario 3 was not developed with BRAC input. If you read the Region 4 BRAC notes it looks like they tried to pick off smaller sections to be rezoned out of WS do they can stay as is.  Some of the neighbors they offered to sacrifice to preserve look per the map closer to WS.  The numbers are unclear, but it looks like they were trying to cobble together every small change they could--actually effecting more neighborhoods--they making a larger, logical change like moving Daventry back to Lewis??

The Sangster split feeder is a no brainer.

Sangster parents have bedn asking for at least a drcade or more to eliminate the split feeder and send the entire school to Lake Braddock.

This resistance is very new and is as if they are just getting caught up in the anti rezoning sentiment

If FCPS had decided to eliminate the Sangster split feeder before this 8130 BRAC mess, the families would have been thrilled.

Sorry, calling absolute BS on this.  The West Orange Hunt neighborhood that walks to Sangster is super connected to West Springfield.  Those families 100% bought their homes because they are part of West Springfield.  They are physically closer to West Springfield and Irving, and would have the longest increased commute times in region 4 if moved.  Sangster was built for the West Springfield community...far before South Run and other neighborhoods were developed.  If you don't live there I suggest you stick with talking points for your own neighborhood.

Lake Braddock is closer to them than Irving.

Sansgter does all their stuff with Lake Braddock (like the pyramid events) not WSHS.

All the community activities such as little league, soccer, scouts, theater, dance and churches are a combination of Lake Braddock and WSHS families.  There is SOOOO much overlap socially between Lake Braddock and Sangster.

I had a kid at Sangster, and it blows my mind that out of the blue the families in that Sangster neighborhood are acting like Lake Braddock is some far off location with no connection to the Sangster community.  Until this year, most of those families would have been thrilled to get sent to the same high school as 80-90% of their classmates.

You should get your facts straight.  They aren't saying they don't want to be part of the Sangster community.  I know more 'walker' parents who volunteer at Sangster then any other neighborhood.  But they are literally part of the West Springfield community. There is also sooo much overlap with Sangster families at WS--not just LB.  The school is literally IN West Springfield.  Families in the 'walker' neighborhoods have always wanted to keep their kids with the WS community.  Again, if you don't live there you can politely keep your not accurate talking points to yourself.
