Note these new scenarios don't start until the 27-28 school year, so keep that in mind when reviewing the "grandfathering" rules.

where does it say that? the FAQ shows 26-27

Oh please. You are MUCH closer to Westfield than those areas in Centreville that you want moved in your place. There is simply no way it takes 30 minutes to go anywhere in the Lees Corner zone to Westfield. Its 4 miles. You sound ridiculous.

I'm curious if any of these scenarios matched that mystery map that the Rooted in Oakton people somehow mysteriously had access to months ago, then deleted?

I just google mapped westfield to my friends house, who is on the furthest part of Lee's Corner boundary and it said 15 min.

Rt 50 is gridlocked in the afternoons from all the people headed home to South Riding. My Lees Corner kid has swim practice at Cub Run Rec Center and at 4:30pm it definitely takes 30 mins.

In fact, it would make more sense to send Poplar Tree kids to Westfield since they can make it to Stonecroft Blvd without going on 50.

Luckily, high school doesn't let out at 4:30pm.

Hahaha you got punked by the RIO people. They have been pushing for this.

So if we have a Crossfield kid at Carson in 7th grade now, will they have to go to a different school for 8th grade?

Good question. I assume this will be the following year. But, with this leadership, who knows.

Under no scenario would I have imagined moving Crossfield from Carson to Franklin. It is so much less convenient. Even in scenario 1, where they go to Skyview, they have them at Franklin instead of Carson, which is nonsensical, and eliminates one of the benefits of going to Skyview, which would have been that they would be moving with a cohort of friends from middle school.

How is it less convenient? The schools are a mile apart from each other, and Franklin is actually slightly closer for some current Crossfield homes. Even if it's not, it is A MILE away from Carson. That's nothing.

Interesting. Google Maps Arrive By Feature says it takes 14 minutes to get from Lees Corner ES to Cub Run at 4:30 pm. That feature is very accurate.

And they would be going home east, against traffic.....

I feel for the Lees Corner people because I think Reid is moving them to appease the obnoxious Crossfield parents AND it seems very suspicious that the Crossfield people had a secret map from FCPS. But no need for histrionics and exaggeration. You are closer to CHS and want to stay there. "Rooted in Chantilly" perhaps. It worked for the Crossfield people and they are nowhere near Oakton.

You don't have any good arguments for why moving kids who are much farther away from Westfield instead of your kids is somehow better for FCPS, so it makes you sound silly to make those arguments.

No. I don't see anything ridiculous about them. Ridiculous how?

Right, but it was the clue that Lees Corner would be pulled into things.

It’s understandable people not impacted may not notice but they include splitting up individual neighborhoods at an elementary level which seems even worse than a split feeder.

Which neighborhoods?

I was surprised they changed the ES boundaries. I thought they were only looking at HS boundaries.
