Yes. But, this never made sense. This should not be a competition. Moving Lees Corner also would be more expensive for transportation. More fuel and more bus drivers and buses.

Dear friends,

Thank you for reaching out to my office about your concerns about recently proposed boundary changes. I wanted to make sure you receive the following joint statement to the Lees Corner Elementary School community from Sully District School Board Member Seema Dixit, and myself:

“Thank you to the parents and community members who have reached out to us regarding a draft boundary scenario that would move Lees Corner Elementary School from Chantilly High School to Westfield High School. This move is indicated in one of the three draft scenarios generated for the new Skyview High School boundaries. Based on the feedback from the Lees Corner community, it is our expectation that Lees Corner remains within the Chantilly High School pyramid."

Right result but totally inept and corrupt process.

OK, so based on Lees Corner then the official FCPS position is that every area that doesn't want to move will stay put?

When your feedback is based in logic and supporting rationale, it carries more weight, as it should. Their argument was not just "we don't want to move." It made no sense at all to move them.

Multiple posters pointed out on here the reasons they were moved.

If they aren't moving them because no one should be moved from a closer school to a farther away school, then that theory upends the entire boundary process.

That's the problem with these dipsh!t school board members, and Reid. They aren't operating from any kind of logical overarching principles or rules.

No good reason was given. Not one.

It makes even less sense to move her other constituents in Centreville, who are even farther away from Westfield. She has put herself into quite a political pickle.

No good reason was given by the School Board in caving to the Lees Corner tantrums, correct.
Many people on here pointed out that since Walney Oaks got special treatment, LC was the next logical low hanging fruit.

Correct, and just moving the Cub Run-Chantilly area does not put enough kids at Westfield. They need either Lees Corner, Bull Run, or some other elementary school. They are moving out three schools.

Right - the better result is to say they need to start over and even delay boundaries for Skyview, not make these one-off concessions.

Why, then, shouldn’t Ricardy Anderson and Ilryong Moon send out an email now to Bren Mar Park (a school community in eastern Fairfax fighting a different boundary change) telling them they are confident they won’t be moved to Lewis HS?

This process is absolute garbage.

Agree, they need to be moved out of Oakton and to Skyview. It doesn't make sense to move the Lees Corner or Centreville neighborhoods so much farther away from the schools they currently attend. Everyone is jumping thru crazy hoops b/c Reid and the SB keep making promises with domino effects.

If every SB member is allowed to personally decide where neighborhoods in their district go to HS, this boundary process will never be completed.

Westfield will be fine. How many kids do you think they need?

Right! They are such idiots. So now those sure to remain at Westfield get to wonder if their school will just be hollowed out, with losses of teachers and electives guaranteed to follow.

Apparently McDaniel is no better at running a railroad than he is managing an aviation business.

2 and one half schools. Floris is split with South Lakes. And part of Coates goes to Herndon.

I assume at least 2200 in order to be able to offer enough AP classes, given their high FARMs population. They are losing 1000 kids.

The FCPS materials said they were moving out around 1000 kids. They are around 2800 now.
