Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
Sounds like Meren. Except then Meren then turns around and pretend she never said it too. |

just checked Rooted in Oakton petition. It's gone up 10 in the last week or so. The percentage of area signees has dropped from 80% to 79%. Small drop, but tells me the additional signees are family members who live elsewhere.
79% of supporters come from: 20171 22033 20191 So, 21 percent come from outside the area. |
Does that percentage differ significantly from petitions made by other neighborhoods/ es’ during the boundary change? |
Flint Hill ES’ change.org petition is 65% in area and Briarwood’s advocating a move to Oakton or Woodson is 62%. |
Not necessarily true for Fox Mill. Half are absolutely closer to South Lakes. |
Where is Briarwood? |
*petition was for Oakton or Madison not Woodson my apologies. Briarwood is by Lee Highway and Nutley Street so very close to both schools. Nevertheless, petitions are never 100% for these sorts of things. |
Not true. |
DP. Close enough to half. Half is equidistant and some are closer to South Lakes. |
That person is just speculating. Reid said something along the lines of "we don't know what the next map will look like - it may not even include Fox Mill or Crossfield" |
From Fox Mill ES to SLHS: 3.6 miles From Fox Mill ES to Western (KAA): 3.3 miles Fox Mill school itself is located on the eastern side of the Fox Mill boundary. There are a sizable number of houses (Monterey Estates, Bradley Farm, and a small portion of Fox Mill Estates) west of Route 286, and they are very close to Western. I would say about 2/3 are roughly equidistant and 1/3 is much closer to Western. Very few are closer to South Lakes. |
Not enough distance to make a difference. A mile difference at most. On the other hand, Crossfield kids are not even close to equidistant to Oakton. |
+1. That’s going to be the problem with Fox Mills argument. |
💯 The vast majority of Crossfield homes are closer to Western than Oakton. Not to mention, the drive is a lot safer and more straightforward for those families to get to Western than Oakton. |
Most of Fox Mills is closer. That's all anyone has said. No one is claiming Fox Mills currently has a long bus ride. There's not a "problem" in anyone's "argument." If Crossfield doesn't end up at Western, it's because of Crossfield parents who want to stay at Oakton, not because of FM. The Crossfield parents who want to move, should email and speak up. They'd find support. |
