FCPS Skyview Boundary Scenario 1/2/3

[Anonymous]

So FCPS started a boundary study with no real defined objectives in place, made a knee jerk purchase of a school without fully grasping the secondary and tertiary impacts of that decision. Now continue to make more boundary decisions without clear objectives and parents across the Western part of the country have gone into mama bear mode.

So a decision will be made over the summer to minimize backlash and make it too late for parents to pursue private or home school options.

Next election cycle everything will have calmed down enough to put the same lap dog school board members back in office and it will be time to do another boundary exercise.

And the wheels on the bus go round and round - the insanity won’t stop.

Maybe, but the nonsense in western Fairfax stems from people not wanting to attend two AP schools - Herndon and Westfield.

Buying KAA when there were 600 empty seats at Herndon was stupid, and now you’ve got all these people arguing that someone else - and not them - should get moved to Westfield.

Moving the 20171 kids from Westfield to Herndon solves nothing. They need their own high school.

You already have your own high schools. You just don’t like them.

Yes, we have four. With four different commutes in four different directions, most of which are terrible during rush hour.

Who needs their own high school? We just bought a brand new school.

Lees Corner isn’t moving from Chantilly HS to Westfield now. And yes, walkers have something to do with it.

Way to miss the point

I answered your question ding dong. Yes, they did say they wouldn’t move walkers from a school. So yes Lees Corner is safe. Both things are true.

You're the ding dong. If they aren't moving Lees Corner because they have walkers then they aren't moving Brookfield or Poplar Tree because they too have walkers. Unless they move just the outermost neighborhoods that aren't walkers, but then that creates messy split feeder issues. Therefore the "easier" solution that also appears to have less outrage is to move the kids already on a bus to Centreville to a bus going to Westfield. We can end the thread now.

Frantic Lees Corner Mom is demanding everyone stop discussing pros and cons to moving Chantilly HS neighborhoods to Westfield (which is in Chantilly).

You aren't hearing "outrage" from those Centreville neighborhoods because that demographic doesn't post on here (they have a petition which we all know is not nearly as effective as having the connections to get in person in front of SB members or Reid) and there is one Chantilly parent who sits on here 24-7 screeching whenever the topic comes up.

I disagree with sending disadvantaged kids much farther away to a school with a higher FARMs rates that they don't want to attend. I don't think FCPS should be consolidating all the
lower SES kids at one Western high school to improve the situation of everyone else. How is that "equitable"?

LOL! I guess Centreville mom would be shocked if she knew that Lee's Corner has a Fairfax address.

Are you saying they shouldn't go to Chantilly HS with a Fairfax address? OK.

Keep up. A Centreville mom said that Chantilly kids should go to Westfield since it is in Chantilly. She wants Lee's Corner to go to Westfield. I don't think she knew its address is Fairfax. Just a counterpoint.
Someone also seems to think there is only one Lee's Corner defender.

You can see from the text pp posted that they aren't making any promises. When they come out with a map that inevitably moves some walkers to bus riders, people will scream.

They need to stop making one-off promises to specific areas and talking out of both sides of their mouth.

Agree, they certainly made NO promises about walkers in that email posted. Was there another email or message where they promised walkers wouldn't be moved?
