Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
| Our street walks to Va Run and they are trying to move us to Bull Run while leaving neighborhoods seven miles away at VRES! Make it make sense! |
Did they freak out about their little Franklin Farm island? That gets moved in all three scenarios (I agree that it should move, it's dumb). |
| Is there a way to watch the meeting video online |
LOL. I heard that. A clueless parent who literally said “distance doesn’t matter so much as keeping them with friends.” For a first grader!!! |
That island needed to go, but most of the complaints I heard were about Navy moving to Chantilly from Oakton from parents of younger elementary kids. Making up all sorts of nonsense reasons. Also, franklin farms makes no sense to continue going to Oakton, but that's been said many times. |
Scenario 2 MS seems to pick 2 random SPAs from each high school pyramid and sends them to a neighboring middle school. See: Dogwood -> Carson -> South Lakes Navy -> Rocky Run -> Oakton (yes, it wasn’t just the Chantilly part of Navy that was moved) Poplar Tree -> Liberty -> Chantilly Crossfield -> Franklin -> South Lakes Oak Hill -> Franklin -> Skyview (at least for this one, the whole elementary school moves together) |
| No one wins with any of these scenarios. Someone is going to have to get moved. It all sucks. |
I believe Lees Corner and Navy parents rightfully called out the Chief of staff for claiming they had informed everyone for the last 18 months about these changes which is entirely untrue. These maps were introduced on Tuesday. |
+1 correct we did |
lol, 18 months? Didn’t they close on the new high school in August? |
Only ppl going to western need to be moved. Nobody else needs to be touched. |
You missed Hunter Mill - Carson - South Lakes. It’s so bad that it has to be a mistake. If they cleaned this all up in Scenario 2, I think it’s the winner. |
+1 |
| Nobody want to be moved. |
| Did anyone ask how getting rid of AAP centers at middle schools would or would not affect the proposed MS changes? |
