Where have they publicly advocated for this? Last I heard they were advocating for Option B of the four maps. I didn't hear anyone at a meeting say KAA should be a magnet. Are they lobbying school board members behind closed doors or something?

On their own website:

This is not Crossfield's website. This is the website of maybe 20 people, most of whom have older kids already at Oakton and want their younger kids to go to the same high school. They've maybe joined up with 10 other people who have kids in Navy AAP and like all other Navy parents, are insane.

If it’s not crossfield’s website then why did the crossfield elementary school officially send out a newsletter with a link to this website last week?

Obviously the select few powers at be in the Crossfield PTO have their claws in the school and are driving the ship with this website and the school messaging itself. This should not come as a surprise to anyone who knows how the PTO operates.

The same people run the Crossfield PTO and the rooted website. Of courses they’re going to use Crossfield communications to promote the site. I’ve heard the Crossfield principal is heavily influenced by the PTO parents.

Who cares? Look at how the entire Town of Vienna government is throwing a fit to keep all TOV kids assigned to a high school that isn’t even in the TOV.

As long as Reid and the School Board pander to the loudest voices people are going to get louder, whether it relates to Western or any other desired or undesired school.

A handful of PTO Karens commandeering the official school email system to lobby for their special point of view is grossly inappropriate.

If I were a Crossfield parent who wanted to go to KAA I’d be furious.

Dude, you do not live within our boundrary. We are not, as I know my kids will be safer at base school.

But you might be furious because you can not sent yours to KAA.

Uh oh. It’s a Crossfield mom now saying KAA isn’t safe. You can’t make this stuff up. 🤣

I for one always go to the school with the highest FARMS rate as possible. I love a challenge.

I’m probably your neighbor. I hope I get the choice to send my kids to a different school from yours. You can keep your snobby overdramatic selves at Oakton. I don’t want your kids around mine, nor do I want to have to interact with you.

It makes the most sense.

1. Reduces overcrowding at Chantilly.
2. Reduces long bus trips to Oakton. KAA is closer and the trip is extremely long for most.
3. Eliminates crowding at Westfield.
4. Does not pull very many from South Lakes.
5. Those redistricted from Chantilly to Westfield are set to be moved in the Boundary study--so no difference here.
6. Centreville kids also are proposed to be moved in comprehensive boundary study.

And, it makes sense.

No, Option B is the cleanest.

The big focus of the boundary review is to reduce split feeder patterns wherever feasible. If Oak Hill moves to Carson and Crossfield moves to Franklin, the split feeder patterns at Carson will be completely solved. That’s the *cleanest* solution. Besides, under Option B, KAA would get students from the five closest elementary schools.

Option A is the DCUM favorite, but I don’t see it happening.

It is one thing to be loyal to your current school and want your kids to stay there.
It is quite another to demean the school--especially a school that has not yet opened and will likely be an excellent school.

And, here is a secret. I remember when Westfield beat the tar out of Oakton in most sports. These things go in cycles.

DP, typically, you get to sort yourselves, the people who want to virtue signal can send their kids to certain schools, and the ones who care about their kids can send their kids to a different school.

A boundary change that ignores families’ choices is doomed to get the pushback that this whole process has received, because we all want stability in our school system.

DP. Yes. And stability is not a 10 mile bus ride to a growing school.

Oh no! I've been found out! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go critique the thread count on my towels.

Draw the boundaries, require 9/10 to attend the first year and move one. Jesus H.

+1 or make it a 9th grade only school.

DP. Doesn't make it right, but it is not rare for a principal to be extra considerate of the PTO leadership.

+1! This opt out/opt in stuff is ridiculous and unnecessarily complicated. Why do they have such poor execution?

Delaying and optional attendance mess up Centreville to Westfield and Westfield to Western. And the bursting Chantilly to Westfield and Western. Option B is the cleanest: Fox Mill gets 135 transfer in for JIP, non JIPPERS go to the Oak Hill AAP, was on the Coates boundary study. Hunters Woods got 29 from Coates [magnet?], but all the others were <10.

No Crossfield - that has the ludicrous Navy island in boundary and various other stuff that no one has looked at for decades[?]. The school site is in Hughes/South Lakes. Navy had 49 Crossfield AAP and Waples Mill bused 69 on the scenic route for AAP to Hunters Woods.

Hahaha, this is so clearly a Crossfield parent trying to pretend they're not.

Franklin Farm shouldn’t even be at Oakton. It’s no where near it!

And, Navy Island should go with to KAA.

Yes he clearly doesn't read anything they send him and he should. The way the Crossfield PTO is set up, the Board runs everything without accountability. They have no interest the community, they are in it for themselves and their friends and only do things that benefit their own kids. Witness: no after school programs, no clubs, they don't pay for field trips, they don't have monthly community meetings, no fall picnic or spring carnival, and their big event is a basketball game where their sporty kids can shine.

I'm a Crossfield parent and I disagree with you. I'm not the only one.
