Western High School Boundary Map options (A/B/C/D)

[Anonymous]

I really hope teachers jump on the opportunity to teach at the new high school. While things look rosy from outside and there may be interest, that was not the case / ground reality for filling elementary teacher slots last year. We went with sub and teaching assistant for a major part of last year in elementary.

Teachers will jump. It is a beautiful school and new schools almost always have lots of interest from teachers.

But, i sure hope that they get a good, strong principal there to open it and get programs and activities going right away. I wish we had a different superintendent. She should have jumped on this long ago.

Principals usually are excited about opening a new school. It is considered a privilege.

Fyi- at the Chantilly meeting tonight, Reid basically said none of these scenarios were vetted, are not actual scenarios, and they were basically just therr to give people some ideas. They are working on a more serious 5th scenario currently.

Someone on the other thread said that Reid was "bamboozled" by a group at the meeting. Does she actually express an opinion? Seems kind of foolish on her part.

Are you talking about the four scenarios for the overall boundary review? Or the four Western High school maps they released?

I'm repeating myself. But, it will be the School Board that makes the final decisions. Not Reid.

DP, but this has to be a reference to the four options for the Western HS.

That was me. I forgot the exact phrasing but a lot of time was spent discussing it as they had two people speak at different times. Sbe seemed very sympathetic to them and by the end of it all, she said it was unlikely that neighborhood would be moved in the final scenario.

People posting seem to think it is Reid making decisions. It's not.

Seems like Reid makes promises to whoever she's talking to to placate them every time. We'll see if she keeps any, but I think she's just a politician saying whatever she needs to in order to calm whatever crowd she's in front of at the moment.

I just came on here to ask what influential person lives on Rounding Run or Nestlewood ? Was there bribery involved? Option D is a total joke and utterly ridiculous.

Navy families. That should be the first clue!

Which neighborhood was it? Crossfield or the Navy cut out?

The navy cutout should be moved. They say they want community, but all of that neighborhood should go to the same elementary and high school. Should be crossfield and Western. It is the most logical and much shorter commute to school. Makes no sense for Oakton, it's not anywhere near and their reason is illogical.
