There is difference between what you want and what you need.
You bought the house, knowing the ES/MS/HS where you kids will go. If you change your mind now, you can move to the pyramid where you want your kids to go. You are younger when you bought your house, you made mistake, you can correct it by moving to your desired school now. The county did not purchase the school based on your preference. |

What an obnoxious post. The only preferences that to matter are those of rich, white people? FCPS caved immediately to the demands of RIO, Walney Oaks, and Lees Corner. |

| Skyview was purchased based on need from Coates, McNair, Floris, Oak Hill, as Coats, Chantilly and Centreville are overcrowded. |

Here’s the thing. Oakton isn’t overcrowded and by 2029 is expected to be under capacity even counting in the temporary spike. That’s with no modulars too. Birth rates are falling so this whole exercise is completely unnecessary for almost all the schools |

Is there a way to see other comments left on the map by other people?
What's to prevent someone from brigading the comments and posting 2000 replies on their designated issue? |

That....was not me. |

In FCPS that's true for sure. Remember pp's story about Kathy Smith treating those poor kids like dirty Kleenex? |

In this instance - rezoning Crossfield to Skyview - no children are being moved from one school to another. No children are leaving their friend group. They are just being rezoned to a different high school. Everyone in high school right now gets to stay at their same high school. Kids 7th and up will start 9th grade at the new high school (current 7th graders, by the way, win here because they get to stay with almost their entire middle school cohort instead of being torn away from them to go to Oakton). |

Aha, you have outed the Rooted in Oakton parents' strategy! |

No idea what you’re trying to say here. No one in the county is guaranteed the same boundaries in perpetuity. |

Oakton is overcrowded this year and further construction in the area is planned. Birth rates can fall nationally but if there is development that adds families to an area school enrollments can still increase., |

The point is to do the right thing.
Use your morals to guide you! |

The truth hurts, and sometimes it’s needed when the alternative is just more people whining about a potential boundary change because a “me too” mindset sets in. Centreville and Westfield are not that different. |

It really upsets someone that Fox Mill wants to move and is comfortable with saying that. It may happen, it may not but we are allowed to use our voice and fingers just like the Crossfield families that want to move. No one thinks the families from Crossfield that want to move to Skyview are evil. They are using their voices and fingers to say what they want. That is how this works. People are not evil for wanting different things than you. Make your case but stop demeaning other groups because they want something different then you. I want what I think is best for my local community. So do you. That isn’t evil. |

Lees Corner has near 20% FARMS rate..not sure I'd call the school rich. But the rich people who do go to the school are the ones who are vocal. |
