Lees Corner's boundaries are basically adjacent to Chantilly.

It's basically across the street (50) from Chantilly. Closest elementary school except Greenbriar West. Less than one mile.

If you want to play the who is closer game, it'd be Rocky Run that is closer than Franklin. Therefore, Lees Corner via Franklin is more likely to be moved out of Chantilly than anyone else after Oak Hill. I don't think that would happen, maybe a portion of kids who could walk to Chantilly are rezoned to Rocky Run themselves given under enrollment there, if anything.

Some of Lee's Corner is walking distance to Franklin.

Moving Oak Hill out of Chantilly will likely be enough. I doubt seriously they would move Lee's Corner out. Some of those that go to Lee's Corner should really go to Brookfield.

Whoops!

I was mistaken. I must have been thinking of one of THRU's proposals. Lee's Corner boundary is reasonable. It is Franklin whose kids south of 50 should go to Rocky Run. Why do they send some of Brookfield to Franklin? That makes no sense.

Half of Floris, all of Fox Mill. They didn't need Floris for their little social reengineering project, as expected, with the boost, the Reston UMC kids ended up staying at Hughes/South Lakes rather than disappearing into the ether.

OMG are you still complaining about boundary changes that happened 18 years ago? Kids have been born and graduated from high school since that happened.

People still live here who remember and went through it. Many have kids that were and are still affected. I remember watching those Floris/FoxMill parents at School Board meetings begging for South Lakes to offer AP instead of IB. That was their complaint--not socioeconomics.

Moving the Rolling Valley Lewis students to WSHS and moving other neighborhoods out of WSHS to make room for the Lewis kids has been the Springfield representative's biggest rezoning priority since FCPS started revising policy 8130.

So who is it? Which family supported Anderson or is close to Anderson’s family if this is the case?

We were told that she was advocating for this group because some groups can’t organize and spend time advocating like our group. It was a very surprising statement, because we are also households of busy working parents, who are federal workers, military, teachers, etc. We don’t have any more resources than this RVES pocket.

So, equity??

That doesn't make sense.

That RV neighborhood is just as wealthy as the rest of 22152 and has a similar demographic as the rest of WSHS.

DP. Whenever the school board hears that a community doesn’t want something, they immediately pretend that there is some other silent community who wants the opposite. That way, they can justify screwing over the first community.

For the most part, they just keep revising the proposals to reflect the last group of noisy parents who chewed their ear off. Not sure the end result will be anything like what they claimed they wanted to accomplish.

Comprehensive boundary review is a shitty game of musical chairs.

Every boundary review is musical chairs because every boundary review shifts seats in a zero sum environment.

That's an odd statement. How is it a zero sum environment when they get money every few years for capital projects and boundary changes can be one-way? It's not like they move kids out of every school they move kids into.

School A loses 100 kids.

School B receives the 100 kids.

-100 from school A

+

+100 to school B

=

0

Or School L loses 20 kids

+

School WS gains 80 kids

= + 60 kids

Or

School JM loses 90 kids

+

School GCM gains 60 kids

= - 30 kids

The kids don’t magically cease to exist with a boundary change. They go to a different school.

If you want to talk general patterns of population/enrollment shifting, that’s a different point all together.

DP. I know families who have ceased to exist in Fairfax county schools because of the boundary review.

Imagine uprooting your family because your kids have the slightest chance of having to go to school with poor kids. Amazing.

Imagine sending your child to another school based on IB/AP because of lack of opportunity for advanced instruction.

Imagine how sending your high achieving kids to a high school will lead to it being a better school and probably drive the need for more advanced classes.

🤣. Old enough to remember when you said yesterday that all the UMC could leave and the schools would be just fine. You gotta get your story straight, rather than changing it every day in a feeble attempt to push your equity agenda.

What are you talking about?? You know there are dozens of people posting here, right?

Franklin MS is within Lees Corner's boundaries, that is why Lees Corner kids go there. Anyway, I am looking at the maps and believe that Brookfield and Navy are also both split feeders to Franklin MS then Chantilly HS. It's not just Lees Corner and Oak Hill.

And part of Cub Run. This region is so messed up.

No — everybody was too busy complaining on DCUM.

I heard that the Superintendent was there at the meeting and they spoke about a version five of the boundaries that will be coming out.

[Anonymous]

Version five will have new HS or new high school plus other changes?

It’s nearly impossible to make large unexpected changes at this point because the newly affected communities would be furious. But if anyone can make things worse than they already are, it’s this school board.

I thought it was supposed to have just the new HS. I think the question is how many areas will be moved around to fill in the HS’s that will likely be losing kids to KAA (mostly Chantilly and Westfield).

It will focus on the new high school changes and apparently the board can also make changes as well.

But at this point no one on the Board should vote for this crap.

Well at some point soon it will no longer be “the consultant” and the board will need to own the maps.
