Paranoia. The new school has no effect on Herndon.
They had their hopes pinned on filling the empty Herndon seats with Coates and possibly McNair kids so that there wouldn't be room for Forestville. That is why they are so upset about the new high school.
Yeah, why weren’t they concerned with the process of the land being sold to the Saudis? And, for that matter, why weren’t they concerned when Lincoln was assassinated? Very suspicious indeed.

Where are the rest coming from or are these Western schools going to shrink by a large number?
Projections don’t show a huge influx of HS students in .
the near future, correct?
Shrink by a larger number. 2400 is arbitrary.
There is still new construction in Westfield/Chantilly area. And, neighborhoods are turning over to younger families.

Oh. I guess they think that since they enjoy long bus rides that other people will, too. Do they not understand that the school is not close to the area?
No one in Great falls ever thought Herndon would be filled from the south. That poster is just pretending that questioning a $180-200 million purchase means you have an ulterior motive. She pretends to not understand the concept of trade offs.

Honestly, I was a little insulted--and I didn't even have a kid in school yet.
It wasn't just random remarks by SB members. The SB adopted revisions to a policy on boundary changes that suggested transportation times were going to be a big focus in the boundary review, and then Reid's consultants ignored the longest commutes in the county.
We all know why. Look at the composition of the BRAC. We know those people had a lot of influence. Look at the guy who got his neighborhood moved to Oakton. Reid admitted he was the reason that change was made.
I wonder about BRAC and that tiny part of Fairfax High that is in Scenario 4 for Chantilly. It is tiny. Make no sense.
Is that neighborhood City of Fairfax?
If they aren't, that is why they are being moved.
Fairfax City is its own entity.

They think everyone else is out to get them and that every decision FCPS makes should be made with a view towards making sure they stay zoned to Langley forever. There's no proposal to move any Great Falls kids and yet they still scream and yell.
But your argument doesn’t works. Your logic ain’t logic-ing.
It's not an argument. It's a diagnosis.
Got it, so you’re just projecting, no actual thought went into the post.
More observation than analysis. It didn't require much of the latter to state the obvious.

I just don’t understand why people are okay with developers getting a hand out, then having the current residents hold the bag. If developers received a premium for the house back in the 90s, then an equivalent decrease would only hurt the current residents, who had nothing to do with shady back room deals of the 90s
The BOS likes the tax money. That simple. Not complicated.
This. As long as the county openly and transparently changed the boundaries in the 90s because it wanted to get more tax revenue, there's nothing illegal about it. If some planning or SB official got bribed, ti would be a different story, but there's no evidence that ever happened.
But it also doesn't mean the resulting boundaries are any more set in stone than any other school boundaries in FCPS.
