If he gets his way, 1) KAA will be a traditional community school, 2) Carson will no longer be three way split; either send entire kids to KAA or two way split between KAA and South Lakes, 3) Crossfield kids will no longer go to Oakton; either go to KAA or South Lakes, or Chantilly (if Oak Hill goes to KAA)

We would be THRILLED to go to Chantilly but I don't think that's an option.

This makes sense. I wonder when the boundary will be released??

By the end of October

What is the point of the community meetings at some of the high schools that will be affected by KAA if the meetings take place before the KAA boundary maps are public? Can they auction off seats to KAA at the meetings to help pay for it?

Notably, Melanie Meren’s most recent email only talks about relieving overcrowding with no mention of the long bus ride to Oakton. So it sounds like she is against putting Crossfield in the new school.

I don't think any of her constituents go to Oakton.

No, but some of her constituents do go to Crossfield.

Most Crossfield students live in Sully.

She represents a very small sliver of Crossfield along its most north west edge that is zoned to Oakton. Basically the kids who are buses furthest.

This school can’t be all things to all people with only 2000 seats. Statements are being now to try and get more support for Scenario 4 and the bond but not everyone will get what they want, and if they end up trying to expand KAA above 2000 through unplanned additions they will infuriate other people whose renovations are being deferred because KAA leapfrogged them.

The school was built to educate 1300 students--to include elementary private school students. I'm confident it could hold more. It was built to be "flexible" according to the architecture firm. With the two additional buildings, they likely could educate a few more than 2000. My guess 2200.
