[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are interested in boundaries, FCPS posted videos of a work session yesterday on boundaries.

I think Janie Strauss was the only Board member who mentioned specific boundary changes.  Specifically, she said FCPS should not wait too much longer before changing the Langley/McLean/Marshall boundaries.  She appears to favor moving some of the multi-family housing in Tysons to Langley.  FYI for the Herndon poster, she also mentioned FCPS opening an AAP center soon at Herndon MS.  [/quote]

Herndon MS already has a local level IV, critical mass or not. There are typically only 25 Geometry students in 8th. An AAP center won't help. All of its feeders with the exception of the 2 smaller Reston elementaries have over 50% poverty. It needs to mix in the Langley western boundary and send Hutchison to Carson. That would balance things out.[/quote]

No way that Hutchison is moving out of Herndon MS/Herndon HS before a new high school gets built.  Carson already feeds to Westfield, Oakton, and South Lakes, plus Chantilly if you include AAP.[/quote]

There are plenty of single family neighborhoods just southeast of the Toll road that can be switched from Carson/Westfield or Oakton to Herndon MS/HS. Exchange them for Hutchison and make Franklin a center. It's not that difficult. All these homes are within a few miles of one another.[/quote]
