Using the pandemic as an excuse and construction at Crossfield as a reason to stay at Oakton? When the distance to Oakton is at least twice as long and very, very difficult. 66 or windy roads.

Hard to say. It also feels like a lot of people at Floris, McNair and Fox Mill don't want to go to Westfield and/or South Lakes, so they want to attend a different school and, of course, have an incentive to make it sound like it's going to be a great school. But PP is spot on when they note that so far it's been too much frosting and not enough cake.

Fox Mill is split. I know people opting in, I think it will be surprising to people how many make the move. I have seen people posting that no one is moving when I know a good number moving. Most of us know our kids will do well regardless of school because the schools will both be good schools.

I think Crossfield is in the same boat but the people who love Oakton are louder then the people who want to stay at SLHS or Westfield.

After hearing the speakers at the SB meeting who want to stay at Oakton, I would jump to move to the new school. Talk about clueless. The gentleman who wanted to name the school --but did not want his kids to go there.

There is one clique of families in particular with middle schoolers that are fueling this fire and I just don't think it's fair that families with middle schoolers who have the ability to opt out are trying to ruin this for those of us with younger children. Mine will attend high school years after Western is established and has established sports programs and all of this construction they are going on and on about is long ago completed. It doesn't concern us. I hope FCPS does the right thing for families with much younger children. Think about future families, not current families.

There are families with younger kids who want to stay at Oakton too.
