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

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.

One of them splits the Franklin Farm portion that is at Oak Hill (and has always been at Oak Hill). It is crazy.

Lees corner support option 2.

A randomly selected portion of the Virginia Run neighborhood is split off to Bull Run.

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.

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.

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.

14 minutes by car is quite different than on a school bus. And, there are portions of Lee's Corner boundary that are 5 miles from Westfield and less than 2 miles from Chantilly.
There are Chantilly kids who are much, much closer to Westfield off of Walney Rd.

That's very odd b/c Va Run is way under capacity and Bull Run is not.

This is not a good argument.

Option 1 is very logical and clean at the MS/HS level to me. I think the ES stuff could easily be cleaned up.

Grow up. Franklin is a good school. Your all-caps temper tantrum is very unappealing.

Yes, that's strange because its the same development, why are they trying to take kids out of VRES when its way under capacity and Bull Run is not?

Why option 1 is logical? Because it send Lees Corner to Westfield?

Option 1 moves kids from Carson to Franklin and then to Skyview. In what world does that make sense?
Carson/Skyview sure
Franklin/Oakton sure
Franklin/Skyview wtf

It seems like the least amount of shuffling. Draft 3 has a ton of shuffling with weird boundaries. Draft 2 is bizarre for MS, sending some kids to a different MS then back to the original HS pyramid.

This is not true. VRES has a higher current utilization than BRES and did under all the previous comprehensive boundary scenarios. While I agree it is odd to move a section of a community school out of the community, I'm assuming it is because BRES is under-utilized compared to VRES.

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

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

I am the parent of a HS student who does sports, and I have to drive to HS quite a bit to bring them gear (which they can't keep at school because of space issues), attend games, meetings etc.

And no matter how far Westfield is, it doesn't change the fact that Chantilly is WALKING DISTANCE.

It seems like? Option 1 is the worst.
