Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
They are indeed moving streets and not elementary schools. Look at Oak Hill if you’re curious - it could end up with students at 3 different high schools. |
agree. its BS to only move neighborhoods without a direct line to the Superintendent. |
| The consultants clearly thought Walney Oaks made sense. I don't think they would have proposed a map with 74% capacity usage. |
| Its completely obvious that the consultants suggested two sensible options and then Reid got on the horn and insisted they make a change. |
Yes. That part of the map made sense. Now Westfield looks like an ad for gerrymandering. |
| does the entire current Oakton HS region still stay under Oakton HS in both the scenarios? |
The western part of Franklin Farm is moved to Skyview in Scenario 1 |
| I'm going to make a comment and it will be such a horrific takedown that they won't want to even publish it. Totally disgusting to carve out a rich neighborhood and only send poor kids to Westfield. |
Does Reid like, have a family member in that neighborhood? It makes no sense for one area to get special treatment. We can all see it makes completely sense to move that area to Westfield. Now they have a split feeder at Brookfield but its split rich and poor. WTF? |
| Scenario 2 has Asheville Dr switching to Oakton for some unknown reason. |
What are you even talking about? |
The consultants had a wealthy neighborhood, Walney Oaks, sent to Stone/Westfield in scenario 2. Which everyone agree made logical sense. As everyone was looking at the maps, they magically refreshed and suddenly that neighborhood was now Rocky Run/Chantilly. All the other areas rnewly ezoned to Westfield are low-income or mostly so and none of them magically moved. Now Westfield has a stupid low number of students. |
I submitted a comment in the boundary tool expressing my displeasure of the Walney Oaks gerrymandering. |
this is exactly what happened one hundred percent. they wouldn't have put so few students at Westfield or moved only low income areas. |
No question that Reid has mucked this up. But, it seems she has mucked up everything. But, having been through this in the past, don't blame this all on her. The School Board member in the district has a LOT to do with it. I think it is Fox Mill to Skyview because so many have PP into Skyview. And, I'm not sure where Meren falls in SB status these days. Objectively, it would have been Crossfield to Skyview. There was no valid reason to keep them at Oakton. What are the neighborhoods that South Lakes is picking up? The map looks odd to me at that end. |
