FCPS is turning the new high school purchased to fix crowding into an Aviation magnet school instead of a high school??

Forestville should go to Herndon, anyone looking the facts, and not relying on emotions, can see that. But that probably means nothing will actually happen to them.

Just pointing out that this is one poster with a clear agenda who has been saying this for years on these boards. You can ignore her.

No one knows how KAA will be used, but Forestville is far enough away from KAA that it is not likely to be moved as a direct result of the KAA purchase.

Not just one poster. All of us that know how to look at a map with boundaries on it can see that, at a minimum, the Herndon homes south of Rt 7 that currently go to Forestville should be in the Herndon pyramid. However that has nothing to do with KAA as KAA will be filled with kids from far south of Herndon where schools are overcrowded, and neighborhoods with long commutes are the target of rezoning every time it comes up since they don't have a local neighborhood school.

You seem to be okay with Fairfax pulling a bait and switch on those homes. First they give builders a good school pyramid to goose the sales price and then once sold switch them to a poorer performing school.

Not sure why anyone would favor corporations over their neighbors, but not surprised that you do. It’s either because you want to use those kids as your resource instead of you and the school board actually putting in the time and effort to fix your kid’s school or it’s because you think it’ll increase your own property value. Eewww David.

It's ridiculous you think those homes are entitled to go to the same schools in perpetuity. Population grows and shrinks. Schools get built or expanded. They didn't have space for them at Herndon in the past. Now they do. Herndon is MUCH closer. It's that simple.

DP. Just because this is what you’re used to, does not mean it is the only way things have ever been or could be.

Where I grew up, and probably in most of the country, school districts are much smaller and aligned with established towns, not counties being arbitrarily chopped up and boundaries shifted this way and that. This was much more stable, predictable, and better than FCPS.

+1. These equity warriors would destroy the entire school system so that everyone can have the exact same experience. A crappy education.

They don’t realize all the people who can afford it would flee the county schools. The social justice warriors aren’t very bright. And they hurt all kids, including the ones they pretend to help.

Listen lady, this has absolutely nothing to do with equity/social justice/blah blah, it's purely based on location. YOU LIVE CLOSER TO HERNDON. Suck it up, buttercup.

Anyway, this is such a stupid argument to have because as far as I know, there's no proposal to move you people to Herndon anyway.

Oh, you must not be paying attention, sweetie pie, I live nowhere close to that area.

Swing and a miss.

Then seriously STFU. This doesn't concern you. What is wrong with you that you are going on and on and on about this but you don't even live there? You need help, freak.

Oh, you live in that area advocating to move your kids for equity? We totally believe you.

There are posters on this forum that try to make equity fetch happen whenever they can. They are trying to drive Fairfax county schools into the ground to make everything equally bad. Are you one of those advocating to destroy fcps, or are you just out here trolling?

OH MY GOD PLEASE GO AWAY. This has nothing to do with your stupid MAGA bullshit.

I voted for Harris. There goes your asinine talking point.

Bumping this because I still dont understand the rationale

They thought that the KAA would be their "insurance" for the future. They are worried about Tyson's growth.

This is a hard to follow thought. Why would it be insurance? Who’s worried about Tyson’s growth?

Nobody knows yet. The only thing the SB has planned is the timeline on picking a name for the school.

Thanks. That’s frustrating. When will we know what the school is going to do? I do not care about the school name.

Still unknown at this point. As of now, there doesn't seem to be any more work sessions or meetings schedule to take place regarding it. At first they said it was going to open next school year, but I doubt that is going to happen. There still needs to be some work done on the interior of the building, and no plans have been presented for that yet.

There is another work session scheduled for 10/7 to discuss the programming for the school, so that will be a further discussion as to whether it will be a neighborhood school, a magnet, or some type of hybrid. The programming is also planned as a New Business item for the SB meeting on 10/23 and an Action Item on 11/13. They plan to take up the name again in December and January, with the new name to be voted on at the same meeting in January 2026 as they approve the county-wide boundary changes.

This is all noted in the work calendar posted in Board Docs.

I don't think any work is required at all to support opening as a 9-10 school as currently planned. There is plenty of capacity as-is for that. They have a whole year to partition the giant rooms used for younger kids into more suitably sized spaces. What renovations are you claiming are necessary to open for 9th and 10th graders next year?

Related. The school used to rent gym space for kids sports teams to play and to practice. Is FCPS allowing that this winter? Or only if teams name themselves aerospace basketball?

No, I doubt they are renting out space. Its not an open, functional building so no way for organizations to apply for permits through NCS.

Right you need custodians etc to have gym/field use

So you want this school to open as a work site with only two grades, limited academics, and limited athletics? Why do you think others would prefer this to their current 9-12 schools?

For the naming, FCPS should do same that some zoos do when they aAl kindergarteners to name annimals and then they pull from hat for final name. Reid going to do what wants anyway for school so at least could give a laugh when talks about her personally created, career-making, magnet school called “Sunshine Sprinkles HS.”

Where will Reid go after FCPS? She moved from such a small district to FCPS and has gotten used to the $.

Someone hasn’t actually listened to the school board meetings over the last few years. Just another low information ideologue.

There is a weird phenomenon where equity warriors go so far left that they pop out on the far right. You seem to be a poster child for this phenomenon. Be well.

Rather than having the kids bused for years to come? Yes.

All the schools in the renovation queue have been operated while much more expansive and invasive work was being done rather than just adding some partition walls. You're grasping.
