It's more like when they bump up Herndon's reported post-renovation capacity from 2500 to 2744 the next year with no explanation, they invite Republicans to imply before an election that there must be some plan afoot to move kids to Herndon from Langley, etc. by the Democrats if they get re-elected.
Am I saying they will do so? Absolutely not.
P.S. - If you're trying to pass yourself off as a Langley parent worried about getting rezoned to a "shitty school," you need to say you spent several million dollars on your house, not some paltry "million plus dollars."
DP. My kids go to Langley and we live in house worth about $950,000. There are a lot of us "under a million" in the area, but of course people like you just refuse to believe it.
In a 950k house, you’re positively lower middle class. Clearly you’re proof of Langley’s economic diversity
The average house zoned for Langley is closer to $2M than $960K. But that poster pipes up a lot. Her $950K houses makes Langley sound less exclusive and covers up how groups like the GFCA have fought to exclude any multi-family housing from Langley (for fear it might bump them to Herndon).

You're most likely in a neighborhood that's a couple miles from Herndon High.

So you’re suggesting it was indeed a Langley parent who said upthread “I didn’t spend a million plus dollars on my house only to get rezoned to a shitty school”?
OK. Seemed more like someone pretending to be a Langley parent to get a rise out of other posters.

Major boundary changes aren’t necessarily bad.
Is the OP wrong on the facts?
OP raises one interesting issue, which is that FCPS isn't very transparent when it adjusts the school capacities reported in the annual CIP. So if they bump up the stated capacity in the CIP, it lends itself to speculation that the numbers are being manipulated in order to justify a future boundary change.
But there just hasn't been much activity to change boundaries over the past 4 years (with an all-Democratic School Board); the more overtly political School Board members get, the less likely they are to do things that would engender noisy opposition; and the reference to Dr. Reid wanting to reconsider small "administrative" boundary changes doesn't seem like a big deal (Brabrand took the position back in 2018 that he wouldn't make "administrative" boundary changes because he wanted the School Board to own all boundary adjustments, but in practice that has just kept FCPS from making the types of small adjustments that used to be more routine).
Why would we assume that she wants the power to adjust boundaries to reinstate a small percentage (3 or 5 or whatever it was)?
Re-doing the policy means that in addition to restoring this power, the percentage that the superintendent can change without bothering the board can also increase.
