![]() “We were pretty sure we would get a sizeable crowd,” said Canis. Kathleen Murphy (D-34), whose constituency includes Great Falls and McLean. kick-off by Great Falls Citizens Association President Bill Canis, school staff had already added about 30 more chairs, and there were still attendees lined up along the walls, including Del. The school cafeteria had been set to accommodate about 250 attendees, but before the 7:30 p.m. Retiring Fairfax County School Board member Jane Strauss, who represents the Dranesville District, had her hands full when she met with a standing-room-only crowd at Forestville Elementary in Great Falls on Wednesday night, June 19. The capacities at Langley and McLean high schools - both in Strauss’ area of responsibility – were the hot topics of the night. Only Democrats support AAP? Wow, who knew?It was a full house – and then some – at the meeting between area residents and FCPS school board member Jane Strauss, who represents the Dranesville District. The local Democrats talk “equity” and practice segregation. While anything is possible, do folks consider reverting those areas to the original school districts to be likely? Wakefield Forest ES used to be a split feeder to Annandale and Woodson and Ravensworth ES used to be a split feeder to Annandale and Lake Braddock. ![]() Which areas of Woodson HS and Lake Braddock HS used to go to Annandale HS? We are looking to buy, and I would like to make that a part of my knowledge base. But West Springfield also was just expanded, so that's less likely than it would have been if they'd just renovated WSHS. They've moved kids from Lee to West Springfield in recent years, so they could move kids from West Springfield to Lee at some point, too. The only school to which kids at overcrowded McLean will be moving is Langley and they aren't going to leapfrog the Falls Church district to send kids to Justice. There are areas at Lake Braddock and Woodson that used to go to Annandale, so no one should be surprised if the decide at some point to send ome neighborhoods back to Annandale. This election is going to be the biggest change in power in FFX county since the 1970’s with so many incumbents not seeking re-election.įCPS has expanded or is expanding Oakton, Herndon and Langley, and Langley is under-enrolled, so it's unlikely Oakton or Langley kids will get moved to Herndon. Please keep all of this in mind when you vote for School Board and County positions this fall. If you are ok with your children being part of this experiment then I applaud you on standing by your morals, sacrificing your child’s education and home value to serve idea I guess is a laudable act. This isn’t hyperbole, at the last working meeting they specifically reviewed changes to policy documents that would allow for widespread boundary changes in the name of “racial composition of students”, changing it from "socioeconomic characteristics of schools." You though they were going to McLean? - it’s now Stuart / Justice You wanted your kids to go to Woodson / Lake Braddock? - they are now heading to Annandale You bought in Oakton / Langley Pyramid? - Herndon You may have voted Dem without thinking twice your entire life, but if you like me have worked hard and sacrificed to afford a house in a school district you chose, you have to realize that there is a good chance your kids may be re-zoned into a different school in the name of “social justice” in the next 5-10 years.
