I am happy with the final scenario but feel bad for Westfield. |

| What student population percent of Chantilly HS is now under Skyview? |

Parents were told by fcps to communicate via comments on the boundary tool and to contact their SB members. Looking at the slides, Westfield parents did that. They have just been ignored. |

There is nothing on the slideshow that suggest that Westfield parents made comments...it only shows positive/ negative comments for students getting moved to various HS. What was ignored was the few communities that are getting moved to Westfield from Chantilly

The slideshow has the maps with red dots for negative comments. When you clicked on the map location in the tool, you marked it red or green, and wrote a comment. Its all red (angry) comments directly on Westfield and that whole middle area including the Brookfield cut out area being sent to Westfield. Also angry comments right over Walney Oaks-who do you think is leaving those? The lone red dot over Seema's house is someone pissed off at her machinations who left an angry comment probably along the lines of this area and Seems's house should be moved to Westfield. |

I don't think you can easily determine that because there are kids moving from Fairfax to Chantilly and kids moving from Chantilly to both Skyview and Westfield. The net result is 636 fewer kids at Chantilly based on 2025-26 enrollment, but there are roughly 27 moving from Fairfax to Chantilly. So that means about 663 moving from Chantilly to Skyview and Westfield, but they haven't broken it down between those two schools. |

Can we move Chantilly academy to Westfield?
Would it help Westfiele enrollment? |

Because staff has now posted a final recommendation that gives RIO what it wants (no move of Oakton students to Skyview) and the School Board member who has apparently been designated by the majority coalition on the board to take a lead role on the Skyview boundaries (McDaniel) is telling people he supports that. It's a shame for Westfield, but it's not the first time that FCPS has made boundary changes that sent a school into a tailspin. Annandale and Lewis are the two prime examples from years past, and the changes they made earlier this year also screw Justice and Marshall, although not to the same extent as what they are about to do to Westfield. |

Yes they have. If you click on the shaded portion being moved on the map, there is a sentence with an estimate in the far left section. -333 Chantilly to Skyview -309 Chantilly to Westfield +41 Fairfax to Chantilly |

No. Kids take an academy class and then go back to their base school. If they cared--which they do not--they would put in some attractive academic programming to try to lure some students to transfer in. But academox rigor is not popular with the SB. |

Have they ever moved 1000+ students out of a high school before and left 800+ seats open? That is a huge number.
Putting aside the very real issue of having to lose so many classmates, teachers and course options for the Westfield students, that is an incredible misuse of taxpayer dollars and resources. |

So Chantilly is also going to lose teachers and possibly courses. 600 is a lot. |

RIO only really screwed over the Crossfield families who wanted to move to Skyview. The choice was always between Crossfield and Fox Mill and both schools got what their majorities wanted. I do find Kyle McDaniel’s transportation numbers to be suspicious, though, and do wonder if routes for Carson included buses shared with AAP students from Waples Mill. |

| RIO impacted Crossfield and Fox Mill, it had no impact on Westfield and the backfill issues. Centreville staying overcrowded is 100% on Centreville and Dixie. SLHS will pick up the lost numbers as the new housing comes online. |
