Isn't Chantilly considered a "neighborhood school?" So many families in the Greenbrier, Brookfield and Poplar Tree neighborhoods that are all walkers to the school. Would they really move kids who walk to school now miles away and have to move them by bus?

Those obviously are not the children they would move, PP. Duh.

I would say that anything is on the table, tbh. Does Fairfax publish the percentage of walkers vs bussers at a each school? If one of the goals is to reduce overcrowding at Chantilly, it's totally possible some walkers (within 1.5 miles) could be rezoned.

Reid said recently that the boundaries are screwier on the eastern side of the county more so than the western, so I inferred that more change might take place there. Total guess though.

Lots of things could happen. They could really drill down on reducing commuting times. Guess that means part of Great Falls can say goodbye to Langley. Some of those kids are much closer to Herndon.

We live close to the boundary between two regions. If rezoning is going to happen I wish we would get rezoned to a HS closer to our home. But I am realizing it’s in a different region so maybe that’s unlikely?

NO ONE here knows anything. It's just a bunch of blowhards trying to stir the post when the reality is, no decisions have been made.

It's comical how often you repeat this. And which school do your kids attend?

Aww, Langley mommy is upset because someone mentioned an alternative to moving Centreville or Chantilly kids into Westfield and then Herndon. So predictable.

Are you 12? My kids aren't in any danger of being rezoned. But you trolling this thread by posting exactly the same thing over and over is quite something. Sorry, I didn't catch which school your kids attend?

Honey, it’s the Langley posters who, despite knowing nothing has been decided, can’t restrain themselves from promoting boundary changes they think will leave Langley untouched.

And, then, when someone offers an alternative that does involve Langley, you have a fit. A 12-year-old has far more emotional maturity than you do.

The school board is looking to alleviate overcrowding, and there is a real issue at centreville and chantilly. Sure it might be fixed six or seven years in the future, assuming the taxpayers approve a massive expansion, but that over browsing is an issue today. If they are serious about addressing under capacity or over capacity issues, they must do something at these two schools.

Where are you zoned? Some of the biggest advocates for “doing something” for Chantilly live elsewhere and have their own motives. They are fervently trying to game potential boundary changes so other kids get moved and their kids stay at their current schools.

If you are personally looking to move from Chantilly to Westfield, please let us know.

Misdirection. They just passed Policy 8130 and overcrowding is one of the big four factors.

Your whataboutism goes against the policy that they just passed this summer. I didn’t write the policy, the school board did. Talk to them.

You didn’t answer the question. Where are YOU zoned?

Crickets, of course.

They push boundary changes that affect other people’s kids with the hope their own boundaries will be untouched.

Immaterial. Centreville is overcapacity. Chantilly is too. That is a fact.

Quite material.

Where are your kids zoned?

The board makes the decisions. They’ve decided that overcrowded schools will be moved.

If you don’t like it, talk to your reps.

Of course the School Board makes the decisions, dimwit.

Now tell us where you’re zoned so we can assess why you have such an interest in kids getting moved out of Centreville and Chantilly.

You first, madam.

You’re the one so interested in moving kids out of those two schools. Tell us where you’re zoned.

Why are you so mad at me? I’m just conveying to you that centreville and chantilly are grossly overcapacity, and the fix is more than five years away.

Take it up with the school board.

Centreville is down 125 kids from last year and the last CIP had Centreville at 104% in 2028-29. It’s not going to be grossly overcrowded, and is slated to be expanded in any event.

So why are you worried about Centreville? Where do you have kids?

Centreville is currently 118% capacity with modulars and 127%(!!!) without. Projection without modulars is 113% in SY28-29. Their goal is to get rid of modulars.

Tell me how centreville isn’t grossly overcapacity?

How do you know those are Langley posters? And it's so telling that you refuse to tell us where your OWN kids go to school.

You’re using last year’s numbers, when the enrollment is down over 125 kids this year. And who is to say the families wouldn’t prefer to stay at the school with a modular rather than be redistricted? FCPS has long treated modulars, although not trailers, the same as permanent classrooms when calculating capacity.

It couldn’t be more obvious who is proposing to move other people’s kids around so that no Langley kids are reassigned to Herndon.

Sounds like you may have an uphill battle convincing this School Board that some of those lengthy bus rides to Langley should continue, but feel free to keep blathering away with the faux concern about Centreville and Chantilly.

Even using this year’s number, centreville is at 119% without modulars. That’s just simple math.

Dunne has made it clear the goal is to eliminate modulars.

Those centreville kids need relief now.

Debatable when there’s an 8% decline in overcrowding in one year, there’s already a plan to expand Centreville, and Dunne doesn’t even represent the school. He can redistrict West Potomac and Mount Vernon if he’s so concerned about capacity imbalances.

If there are Centreville or Chantilly families looking for “relief,” they’d be identifying themselves as such and speaking up here. You’re just trying to construct a series of moves that you think would keep all of Great Falls at Langley, even when kids live at opposite ends of the county.

Why shouldn’t centreville and chantilly get relief now? Sure they’ll possibly have an expanded school many years from now, if taxpayers ultimately decide to fund the expansion, but that doesn’t alleviate the significant overcrowding concerns now at the schools.

The school board says that modulars are a safety concern. They are looking to get rid of them at every school -presumably your kids’ too.

What makes centreville so special that it should not be included in the county wide boundary changes?

Centreville is down 125 kids from last year and the last CIP had Centreville at 104% in 2028-29. It’s not going to be grossly overcrowded, and is slated to be expanded in any event.

So why are you worried about Centreville? Where do you have kids?

Centreville is currently 118% capacity with modulars and 127%(!!!) without. Projection without modulars is 113% in SY28-29. Their goal is to get rid of modulars.

Tell me how centreville isn’t grossly overcapacity?

You’re using last year’s numbers, when the enrollment is down over 125 kids this year. And who is to say the families wouldn’t prefer to stay at the school with a modular rather than be redistricted? FCPS has long treated modulars, although not trailers, the same as permanent classrooms when calculating capacity.

Even using this year’s number, centreville is at 119% without modulars. That’s just simple math.

Dunne has made it clear the goal is to eliminate modulars.

Those centreville kids need relief now.

Debatable when there’s an 8% decline in overcrowding in one year, there’s already a plan to expand Centreville, and Dunne doesn’t even represent the school. He can redistrict West Potomac and Mount Vernon if he’s so concerned about capacity imbalances.

If there are Centreville or Chantilly families looking for “relief,” they’d be identifying themselves as such and speaking up here. You’re just trying to construct a series of moves that you think would keep all of Great Falls at Langley, even when kids live at opposite ends of the county.

Why shouldn’t centreville and chantilly get relief now? Sure they’ll possibly have an expanded school many years from now, if taxpayers ultimately decide to fund the expansion, but that doesn’t alleviate the significant overcrowding concerns now at the schools.

The school board says that modulars are a safety concern. They are looking to get rid of them at every school -presumably your kids’ too.

What makes centreville so special that it should not be included in the county wide boundary changes?

The metric being presented goes beyond Centreville. You’re proposing that temporary boundary adjustments should be prioritized over using temporary modulars for a school that’s already been identified to be expanded in the next 5 years (the project is expected to be funded with 2025 funds, so it’ll already be on the books before the maps are finalized.) Yes, they’re doing comprehensive reviews every 5 years, but they should never approve a boundary adjustment with the intent of reversing it in next cycle. That’s incredibly disruptive, especially when the capacity isn’t at a neighboring school, but a domino effect to reach two to three schools away.

Isn't Chantilly considered a "neighborhood school?" So many families in the Greenbrier, Brookfield and Poplar Tree neighborhoods that are all walkers to the school. Would they really move kids who walk to school now miles away and have to move them by bus?

Those obviously are not the children they would move, PP. Duh.

I would say that anything is on the table, tbh. Does Fairfax publish the percentage of walkers vs bussers at a each school? If one of the goals is to reduce overcrowding at Chantilly, it's totally possible some walkers (within 1.5 miles) could be rezoned.

Reid said recently that the boundaries are screwier on the eastern side of the county more so than the western, so I inferred that more change might take place there. Total guess though.

Lots of things could happen. They could really drill down on reducing commuting times. Guess that means part of Great Falls can say goodbye to Langley. Some of those kids are much closer to Herndon.

It's comical how often you repeat this. And which school do your kids attend?

Aww, Langley mommy is upset because someone mentioned an alternative to moving Centreville or Chantilly kids into Westfield and then Herndon. So predictable.

Are you 12? My kids aren't in any danger of being rezoned. But you trolling this thread by posting exactly the same thing over and over is quite something. Sorry, I didn't catch which school your kids attend?

Honey, it’s the Langley posters who, despite knowing nothing has been decided, can’t restrain themselves from promoting boundary changes they think will leave Langley untouched.

And, then, when someone offers an alternative that does involve Langley, you have a fit. A 12-year-old has far more emotional maturity than you do.

How do you know those are Langley posters? And it's so telling that you refuse to tell us where your OWN kids go to school.

This is getting so tiresome. You keep asking, no one answers. Including you.
