Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
| The slides provide some interesting information as well, particularly slides 27-29 that lay out where in the maps feedback came from. |
|
They sloppily edited the slide deck to reflect Walney Oaks getting their neighborhood moved 10 minutes ago.
Deck 48 is edited but they forgot 49 and 50. Oops! |
| This map moves four small neighborhoods from Crossfield to Carson-Skyview while everyone else in the entire school will go to Franklin-Oakton except the one neighborhood that has been Hughes-South Lakes stays there. Crossfield would feed to three different middle schools and three different high schools. Why on earth would they do that? |
They are tearing Crossfield apart, so no, RIO is not completely bypassing Skyview. |
| Slide 27 is hysterical. Did RIO submit thousands of green comments? |
What slides? Can you please link to them? |
Under any of the scenarios Skyview will be one of the smallest high schools in the county. Without part of Crossfield it’s even smaller. The favoritism that FCPS has displayed towards Langley, Oakton, Madison, West Springfield, and even Chantilly to some extent throughout these boundary processes is truly something to behold. It’s somewhere between cowardly and corrupt, and it shows that these folks have zero commitment to providing kids with equitable access to quality education. |
| Who at Westfield peed in Reid's Wheaties? |
They must have changed the map during this short down time. CRAZY. |
|
Agreed. The scenario 1 splits the houses so badly that they will be running a bus for Oakton high and a diff bus for SkyView through the same street. This does not make any sense Quote=Anonymous]This map moves four small neighborhoods from Crossfield to Carson-Skyview while everyone else in the entire school will go to Franklin-Oakton except the one neighborhood that has been Hughes-South Lakes stays there.

I don’t live there but I wondered the same. Did they really have to do that? |
No one wants to get moved into Westfield so they are very courageously moving only the minimum number of families into the school, targeting the areas that would be least likely to complain. |
May be a lot of kids from those neiboughooods opted for skyview. And, a lot of people supported going to skyview because it's so close to skyview from there. |
Those neighborhoods are extremely close to Skyview--off West Ox near the parkway. But it is odd. Where are the slides? And, do numbers for Skyview include twelfth grade? With five elementary schools, those numbers don't seem right. |
But turning a small elementary school into a three way split feeder??? |
