The School Board successfully stuck it to Westfield in 2015 and Reid sees nothing wrong with doing it again.

As many people had said,

Scenario 2 was the most favored of the three draft scenarios, while Scenario 3 was the least favored.

Looks like Scenario 2 was the starting point for the revised scenarios.

Westfield is getting royally screwed. School was just under capacity with no trailers before and now will be less than 3/4 full. Westfield will be in a death spiral in 2-3 years. Will need to cut tons of young staff and lose a ton of programming. Poor kids and families.

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.

But turning a small elementary school into a three way split feeder???

I am starting to realize that, non of the principles matter any more. It's just a job for the school board and they don't want to fight. They are just picking the route with least objections. They would rather leave westfield at 74% instead of moving some kids from overcrowded cvhs.

How do you see Oak Hill at 3 high schools? Looks like most will go to Skyview and just the bottom stays at Chantilly.

That's not possible, for it isn’t schools moving, it is streets. It isn't possible to list every street in the Western side of the county and to list where they are moving.

They are moving streets and not ESs? That is kind of nuts. So they are creating split feeders for ES or are these ES already split feeders?

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.

Someone in Franklin Farm has some pull or paid someone off. Anyone notice how that little piece of Crossfield that got carved out very much does NOT include the neighborhood of Franklin Farm?

Yeah I thought they would keep Westfield at 82-83% like South Lakes.

Nope, they are gutting out Westfield.

"keeping neighborhoods together" no matter that kids live onthe same street.

It's equal parts laughable and infuriating that Oakton still has one of the most contorted, nonsensical boundary maps out there, still reaching all the way into Herndon to pull kids who are sitting practically next door to the new high school. I cannot believe the school board buckled to the RIO crowd, whose entire case for staying at Oakton boiled down to nothing but "feelings" and nostalgia. So you let Westfield get gutted down to 74% capacity and left to spiral while Oakton, a school that's already bursting at the seams after an expensive renovation, gets to skate by basically untouched. Corruption doesn't get much more obvious than this.

Join the club. I can name another half dozen high schools where that has happened or is about to happen.

This School Board plays favorites. They are complete scum.

I think this is further proof that someone in RIO that lives in Franklin Farm either works at Gatehouse or at the new consulting firm.

Nope, they are moving a handful of neighborhoods from Crossfield to Skyview in Scenario 1.
