Cute that chip-on-her-shoulder poster thought that I gave a hoot about her "undesirable" kids. Nope. I was only thinking about potential boundary changes and my own snowflakes.

Knew that was coming. The snobby McLean parent cannot stand having the "undesirables" there. Give me a break!

Are you showing off the McLean high education by not using proper spaces?

Someone probably just copied the information about the meeting from the PTSA site and pasted it here. You sound ridiculous.

Typical can't even be bothered to check their own plagiarized work

I don't understand your comment. Parents often want to know whether their students will be grandfathered at their existing school if there is a boundary change affecting their neighborhood.

There is usually some grandfathering. For example, when FCPS adopted a plan in early 2013 to move some kids out of Fairfax HS, they gave students the option to move for the 2013-14 year, made the changes mandatory for 2014-15, and grandfathered rising juniors and seniors in the fall of 2014. So if you didn't like the idea of your kid attending Fairfax as a freshman and switching to another school as a sophomore this past fall, you had the option to send your child to the new school as a freshman in the fall of 2013.

No. Facilities has not to date identified that as an option. Jackson is crowded and they are looking for ways to reduce its enrollment. Falls Church is under-capacity, but they believe it will fill up over time and they'd probably like to have the option to move kids from Stuart there if needed.

Are they considering sending the Timberlane/Longfellow/McLean pyramid to Luther. Jackson and Falls Church?

It's discussed in the "options" section of the latest CIP. There is some concern that, if people keep moving to the Tysons area and closer to DC, and steering away from Great Falls, McLean will end up overcrowded and Langley will be under-enrolled. If that happens, FCPS has suggested it might move the kids at Colvin Run and/or Spring Hill who attend Longfellow/McLean to Cooper/Langley. However, they want to monitor the enrollments, and complete the ongoing and scheduled renovations at Langley and Cooper first. They have also suggested in the CIP that they would build an addition at McLean, which can be done without a rezoning application, before they'd move any McLean students to Langley. Bottom line is that nothing will change over the next two years, and beyond that it really depends on how accurate their projections turn out to be.
