[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a plan to close Lee:

Move Bren Mar Park back to Annandale from Edison  [Annandale is projected to have space]

Move Springfield Estates and Lynbrook from Lee to Edison  [Swap at Edison - might need to add modular]

Move Forestdale from Lee to Hayfield [Hayfield is projected to have space]

Move Saratoga from Lee to South County [SoCo is projected to have space]

Move Crestwood and the portion of Rolling Valley at Lee to West Springfield  [Swap at West Springfield]

Move Orange Hunt and the portion of Sangster at West Springfield to Lake Braddock [Swap at West Springfield; Lake Braddocik is projected to have space]

They should keep Mount Vernon open, but move Fort Hunt there from West Potomac[/quote] [Mount Vernon is projected to have space]

Sorry but this is the silliest, most ridiculous and disruptive idea ever posted on this board about redistricting, and that is saying a lot.[/quote]

Why?  Scared of kids from Lee coming to your school?   [/quote]

Because it shows how very disruptive closing a high school would be.[/quote]

It may be disruptive to close a high school, but it's also disgraceful to neglect one.  [/quote]

Lee is not get neglected.

They were given IB.

They are given more funds.

They have beautiful athletic fields.

They are smaller than all of the surrounding high schools.

Their building needs updating, but that will come.in time.

They have some great teachers there.

They are not being neglected. They serve a needier population so they have lower achievement in spite of getting more funds and more attention.

Your idea disrupts the lives, plans and yes, real estate values of thousands of families. And it does not guarantee higher achievement anywhere.

It is a silly idea.

Moving 10 or so kids per grade so they are zoned for the same middle and high school as every other kid in their school is a non disruptive, low cost, smart idea.

No high achieving families want IB

The school is smaller because no one wants to be there.  Anyone with resources/savvy will avoid.

No plans in CIP for renovation.

The scores will not change as long as the school population doesn't change.

They are neglected as the local population doesn't vote or is ineligible to do so.

These are hard facts, but they are true.[/quote]
