[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not send all of Spring Hill to Langley?

Looking at a map, Colvin Run seems to be the more obvious school to send to Langley.[/quote]

They look at the map and other factors.

I believe that staff concluded that moving all of Spring Hill would move too many kids, and possibly force McLean to shed too many teachers and electives.

On the other hand, moving Colvin Run would only move SFHs to Langley, which is not consistent with their commitment to considering equity in their decisions.

Each of the original options and the final recommendation has pros and cons, but I think the final recommendation is better than the original options.  It doesn't move too many kids right away, and by moving part of Tysons to Langley it means that Langley will also pick up some kids from future development in the area between International Drive and Leesburg Pike.

Pp here. We moved to the Langley pyramid last year. I totally welcome the apartments and diversity at Langley. I just read the presentation and it looks like Langley/Cooper could handle more kids from McLean. Would think it is better to do a bigger adjustment than just a tiny tweak.[/quote]

At some point some of the Langley neighborhoods built in the 70s and 80s will turn over to younger families and they'll need the space.  [/quote]the houses built in the 70s and 80’s in my neighborhood have already turned over.  The early ones are turning over a second time now. It is the mid-90’s-2000s that are also rolling over now. [/quote]

Does it make sense to hold hundreds of empty seats for potential neighborhood turnover?[/quote]

It’s not just turnover.  The new Arden development in Great Falls has over 100 new homes already zoned to Langley. [/quote]
