[Anonymous]

looks like fcps just got approval by zoning for use as a traditional high school.

+1000000. When the school board makes boundary changes, it tears apart communities.

FCPS got approval to open a public school for 1000 kids this year. Hard to say that a 1000-student “opt in” school with no VHSL sports is a “traditional” high school.

For the 9,000th time. Next year is not going to be every year. Next year is different because there are no boundaries and no sports. Families were allowed to opt in for the first year.

Two years from now will be different. There will be boundaries and there might be sports. There will be three grades.

Three years from now there will be boundaries and sports. There will be four classes.

It will be a traditional school.

This is ridiculous. Being sent to a neighboring school in your same town is not "tearing apart communities".

In the case of Skyview, it will (unless Reid does something stupid) create a community school. Currently, except those attending Chantilly, students are attending far outside their communities.

Westfield will be more of a community school, as well.

How will Westfield be more of a community school? Are you referring to scenarios where other Chantilly students are sent there, since Westfield is in Chantilly?

For that to happen FCPS needs to do a lot of construction work, spend a lot of money, and secure additional county approvals.

I do not understand why this is so hard for you to understand and acknowledge.

That's a good thing. Enrollment at Chantilly NEEDS to come down significantly. It would be nice if it came down enough to remove the modulars.

We have no problem with modulars. We are absolutely fine with it.

You might not have a problem with modulars, but other families might.

We will take modulars if it means we can stay at Chantilly. No one wants to be moved out of Chantilly.

But if you search on this thread, over and over again, parents have complained about how crowded Chantilly is and how they need to figure that out. So yes, obviously you don't want your child moved, but people DO complain that it's overcrowded and you cannot deny that.

How about you change your perspective a little. They may be "tearing up" your community at this point in time, but they are also building new communities. Your family will become a part of the community at whatever school your child is zoned to. Today is just a snapshot in time. Current 4 year olds aren't part of any high school pyramid community.

Those are not Chantilly parents complaining…

Pathetic social engineering at its finest. Why don’t you let me choose your family’s situation since we’re playing this game of not giving a $hit about kids.

Yes, the Chantilly kids are much closer to Westfield (which is in Chantilly) than the Herndon kids they are moving to Skyview so that would create more of a community there. For instance, Westfield to Coates is over 7 miles. Westfield to Lees Corner, for instance, is only 4.1 miles.

Two things can be true at once. It can be overcrowded, and no one wants to be moved.

I feel like you are just poking a stick at that crazy Lees Corner parent who posts here. S/he becomes rabid when anyone points out which ES neighborhoods are closest in miles to Westfield.
