You are probably right.

They are supposed to provide three scenarios so I won't be suprised to see scenarios where

1. Lees Corner is included (i.e. Option E)
2. Fox Mill is included (minor variation of Option B)
3. Crossfield is included (minor variation of Option A)

Fox Mill was in options B, C, and D. I know those are no longer but it was in 3 of the initial drafts that were mentioned.

No, I think that Crossfield was in 3, but Fox Mill was in 1.

No. Both Crossfield and Fox Mill were in 3.

Options C and D were ridiculous. They kept Discovery Square at Westfield. Discovery Square is walking distance to Skyview.

Option A was the best under objective standards. Just add all of Floris.

It's meaningless to discuss the previous options. We will have new ones and most likely one of them will be Option E.

The worst one.

I actually think Option E will be selected.

RIO moms don't want Crossfield to get moved. Meren wants to protect SLHS and won't let Fox Mill go.

This time Reid will show which schools will backfill Westfield.

Lees Corners families will be given binary choices: move to Skyview or be assigned to Westfield.

I agree Option E is the worst, but with that option Reid will face the least resistance.

They have no idea how much resistance they’d face if they tried to move Lees Corner out of Chantilly. No one has seriously organized against this because the idea seems so far-fetched given the school’s proximity to Chantilly. People toss the idea out because there is so little confidence in Reid’s ability to come up with sensible proposals and then defend them.

Agree. There's been no resistance only because it hasn't been proposed.

I think there’s going to be quite a bit of resistance if and when it becomes a real option. Franklin Glen families are going to be pissed. Probably Armfield Farm families too if they are currently Lees Corner. The same way Oakton has RIO moms who want their kids to play sports there, those neighborhoods have kids who want to play sports at Chantilly. I think it’s really messed up if they Lees Corner out of Chantilly just to appease Crossfield families. Completely unfair to move neighborhoods that are very close to their community high school just because some families planned poorly and purposely bought a home 10 miles from their school.

Maybe you should alert Michelle Reid to the fact that a RIO parent works at Gatehouse and is trying to influence things from the inside. Also that PTOs do not represent the entire school. The Crossfield PTO should not have been allowed to meet with the superintendent to lobby for something that is about sports and fake property values.

If the new HS was just off on and north of Route 50 and west of Lees Corner, I could see Lees Corner being part of the discussion. But it's not. Skyview is much further north, in the Floris area, and there are other Chantilly neighborhoods closer to Westfield. So Lees Corner does not suggest itself either for reassignment to Skyview (like Oak Hill does) or to Westfield to backfill that school (like parts of Cub Run and/or Brookfield).

It seems like only someone looking to divert attention from their own area being moved would suggest Lees Corner should be part of the equation here.

NP. Walney Oaks just got themselves rezoned from Franklin to Rocky Run, so I think this foreshadows there's not going to be much if any movement from Brookfield zoned homes to Westfield.

Absolutely #1 but I prefer Skyview in general because it's much closer to my home. Literally the only people I've heard say they want to switch to Franklin are people who have kids in AAP and whose kids would end up at Carson anyway. They are incredibly selfish.

The RIO sports crew will want #2 for sure. They've already been pushing for it. Some of their kids are in AAP, some not. They see switching to Franklin as the way to stay at Oakton. Plus there will be AAP at all middle schools in a few years anyway, so the AAP kids that you all assume make Carson so amazing would be at Franklin anyway.

I'm the person you're responding to and my kids are NOT AAP. We have had a great experience at Carson and would be sad to be sent over to Franklin, which we haven't heard the greatest things about.

I think Franklin will become an AAP center soon.

I think this will happen literally next school year. In Kyle McDaniel's email about yesterday's school board meeting, he said they determined that FCPS will implement AAP in middle school in four phases starting with the coming school year. They also talked about how there are three different implementations of AAP in middle schools - AAP centers, non-centers that have separate AAP classes, and schools that have AAP kids but not separate AAP classes. I would guess that Phase I would be turning that first set of schools that already have separate AAP classes into centers, meaning Navy/Oak Hill/Waples kids would get kicked out of Carson and sent back to Franklin.

Swap Navy and Waples AAP for all Oak Hill students?

Lees Corner is less than 1 mile from Chantilly HS. It makes zero sense that they would end up at Westfield (4.5 miles away) or Skyview (3.5 miles away).

I'd be happy with that as a parent of a non-AAP kid who will go from Navy to Franklin. Friendships start to fade when kids who used to spend a lot of their days together hardly see each other all day. I imagine they go away entirely when the kids diverge at middle school.

There was a document prepared by FCPS staff for the School Board work session on middle school AAP that proposes the staggered phasing of new MS AAP centers as follows:

Phase 1: Poe (starting this fall)

Phase 2: Hayfield, Key, Whitman, Holmes (starting fall 2027)

Phase 3: Herndon, Liberty, Robinson, Stone (starting fall 2028)

Phase 4: Franklin, Irving, Thoreau (starting fall 2029)

Swap Navy and Waples AAP for all Oak Hill students?

If you look at the numbers presented earlier this week, Franklin will be overcapacity when this occurs and Rocky Run will be WELL under capacity. I think that they will move kids that live south of 50 from Franklin to Rocky Run to make space for Navy and Waples kids. They will move Oak Hill to Carson to fill capacity left by the Navy & Waples AAP kids and that will even out some middle school numbers.

https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/DSKREP6DA992/$file/2026.04.07%20MS%20AAP%20Center%20Expansion%20Worksession.pdf

Anyone south of 50 that goes to Franklin will be moved to Rocky Run, freeing up capacity there for the Navy and Waples kids (approx 200).

I assume Franklin is in Phase 4 because they need Phase 3 to occur in order free up space at Rocky Run, but it's stupid.

The smartest thing for them to do now is move Navy AAP out of Carson back to Franklin and move the rest of Oak Hill to Carson in time for those kids to start at Skyview. It would be an even swap.

Their kids are not that impressive.

And they’re ignorant.

- Racist
- Misogynistic
- Fatphobic
- Homophobic
- Ableist

Because they think they’re the best when public school athletes are egoists with no sense of philanthropy and humanity.

You can think their incompetent parents for that who commodify them for colleges.

Trust me, I had an Oakton footballer down the street who did unsafe and idiotic things daily.

- Underage drinking
- Underage smoking
- Underage drug use
- Underage sex

I don't disagree. But think about this:

1. RIO moms said Crossfield should be moved to Franklin.

2. Reid said middle school boundaries can change as a part of Skyview decision.

3. Franklin will soon become an AAP center.

See where I am going?

Oh my god, they're not going to change middle school boundaries just because a handful of rich mommies asked them to.

If they are going to do that they also need to fix the fact that the Waples AAP center is Hunters Woods, not even in the Franklin pyramid.
If Crossfield stays at Carson then they need to go to Skyview. Their AAP center should be another school in that pyramid. If they stay at Oakton then they need to go to Franklin, and FCPS needs to find an in-pyramid solution for Waples Mill kids during grades 3-6.

Why doesn't Waples go to Navy for AAP, it's so much closer?

Why doesn't Waples go to Navy for AAP, it's so much closer?

I asked that question for 4 straight years. At this point it doesn't matter to me anymore, but someone needs to consider it. Crossfield goes to the Navy center, but my kid had to ride the bus 1 hour each way (including all the stops), right past Crossfield, for AAP at Hunters Woods.
