“Needed”

Are Langley students suffering?

That’s just the concern troll speaking. She’s so very worried about the SES diversity of schools that her kids don’t attend.

DP. Isn’t a commitment to diversity of one of FCPS’s core values? Is there an asterisk where Langley is concerned?

All FCPS high schools are diverse.

FCPS is supposed to keep the main thing the main thing.

Langley is not economically diverse. Since it has more excess capacity than any other school in that area, they can add diversity and use capacity at the same time.

It would have had more poor kids if the school board didn’t block Jane Strauss.

Nevertheless, there is no mandate for them to add a certain amount of poor/rich/middle class children to any school.

Thank you for pointing that out.

So we should overcrowd one school and not use the available capacity at another because it might add more economic diversity to the wealthier school?

You are of course correct that overcrowding needs addressing. The Franklin Sherman split feeder could be closed. McLean shouldn’t be allowed to be so crammed when a school with space is two miles away.

It's probably no coincidence there are several School Board members (Tholen, Meren, Keys Gamarra) who live in the Langley or Madison districts, and no SB member who lives in the Marshall district.

i think Frisch lives in Marshall district
