The SB certainly didn't need another Gatehouse building. How could they have voted almost unaminously when they knew better not to make fools out of themselves when FCPS is in a major budget crunch. FCPS should be allocating available resources to students, teachers and necessary school renovations. Not to add comfort cubicles for the administrative staff so that they can continue to screw up

The problem with Gibson is his lack of abililty to congregate all the communities with schools in his district selected for the boundary study, work with all of his constituents, reach out to them instead of alienating half of his constituents and making deals. So I am not sure how the Coppermine redistricting will be carried out. Maybe Gibson will give his plow speech. Seemed to work for the

Ink, Would you please stop reposting your towing crap? If you have something to contribute to the high school redistricting thread, do so but reposting the towing crap calls for being an idiot and has NOTHING to do with this thread so please scat.

Madison Is not an Island, Then please cite the last successful high school redistricting that has occurred in Fairfax County that included socioeconomics as one of the factors in redistricting before this RD if you know any. I am curious.

I just checked the FCPS site boundary attandance link (the one to check what schools are in the boundary attenance by putting in a home address) and it appears that the recent RD'ed communities have been updated to attend South Lakes/Oakton. FCPS staff and FCPS webmasters could have "held their pants" until the judge makes his decision about the RD.
