SLUG: ME_FOXMILL DATE: February 7, 2008 PLACE: Herndon, VA CREDIT: jahi chikwendiu/twp Carly Mannava, her husband Ashok Mannava, and their 5-yer-old twin sons Vijay, left, and Vikram Mannava at their home in Herndon, VA. With her then two-year-old twin sons in strollers, Carly toured area high schools before her and her husband purchased a house. They decided that the nationally ranked Oakton High School was where they wanted to send the boys. Three years later, her neighborhood is tangled in a controversial redistricting plan that, if approved, would put her boys on track to attend a school with lower test scores and lots more lower-income children.
