[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing will happen on boundaries. It was all Dem the last four years and nothing happened. There is no incentive for them to do anything on boundaries. They will just spend more money expanding the preferred schools.

The board doesn't give a squat about citizen input.

Boundary changes will only come when the new western high school opens. Or if the school population declines so much that a high school would have to close. People in this day and age no longer have the stomach for the stress and upheaval, even if boundary changes aim to balance the demographics. It’s post pandemic malaise. I could be wrong but that’s my gut feeling. It’s just too much work, for FCPS and for the communities.

15 years ago there was more “stomach” for boundary changes. South Lakes HS was the beneficiary of that one, and that school is much stronger today.

The “new western high school” is a myth. The final nail of the coffin was the decision to move ahead with the expansion of Centreville High to 3000.

Given the number of high schools already expanded to 2500-3000 students, there’s no reason not to expand any remaining schools near or over capacity to at least 2500.  Voters keep approving bonds that provide for school expansions, so that’s clearly what county residents prefer rather than halting construction and forcing a county-wide redistricting. [/quote]
