They are eliminating split feeders at both Wolftrap and Spring Hill ES.

It’s so obvious some of you have no ability to read a map. If you did you’d know moving Lees Corner when it’s so close to Chantilly would be the epitome of stupid. It appears Reid and several School Board have quickly come to the same conclusion.

It may be stupid, but Seema and Kyle immediately and publicly awarding Lees Corner for their tantrum was even stupider because now the Tantrum Precedent has been set.

It’s a lot more defensible given how close Lees Corner is to Chantilly than Reid and Meren previously slicing and dicing up Marshall and creating a brand-new attendance island so Vienna families at Marshall could move to Madison.

No new precedent was set; an existing one may have been followed.

Scenario 1 tries to eliminate Navy as a split feeder - by moving current Navy Chantilly HS families (including Highland Oaks) all the way to Oakton HS. Sorry but not interested in that commute. The elementary school kids all change friends in middle school anyway. I’m not sure I see a need to keep all of the elementary at the same high school?

Scenario 3 also eliminates Navy as a split feeder by moving all current Navy Oakton HS families over to Chantilly HS.

That requires bumping Lee's Corner out--it is not going to happen unless they move out a whole bunch of Brookfield and Poplar Tree.

But why would moving Navy Chantilly HS families to Oakton HS bump Lees Corner out of Chantilly? I don’t get the connection?

OOPs! I Must have misread. I thought you were moving all of Navy IN to Chantilly. But, those Navy kids live across the road from Chantilly. They should not move them out.

And Brookfield and Poplar Tree can make the same argument to stay at Chantilly as Lees Corner. Stronger actually because moving them out of Chantilly would create a new split feeder at Rocky Run while Franklin already currently sends some kids to Westfield.

Franklin does not send to Westfield. Only to Oakton and Chantilly.

Dixit and McDaniel are part of the seven-member School Board faction closely aligned with Reid. It's unlikely they'd go out on a limb and provide assurances to Lees Corner unless that was aligned with Reid's thinking. She's shown before that she has no problem pivoting from an initial boundary proposal in the face of community pushback.

So you may get a few members complaining about Reid cutting deals or about other board members getting involved too soon, but McDaniel and Dixit will likely have the full support of Sandy Anderson, Dannan, Lady, McDaniel, and St. John-Cunning.

I'd stop trying to fight a battle you've probably already lost (getting Lees Corner moved to Westfield) and start thinking about what you could get at Westfield in exchange for Westfield losing so many kids to Skyview and not picking up Lees Corner.

Yeah. Scenario 1 moves all Navy kids out to Oakton. Scenario 3 moves all Navy kids in to Chantilly. Scenario 2 leaves the Navy kids’ high schools alone which is why I’m in favor of that one.

Currently, Franklin does send kids to Westfield.

Considering kids change friendships over time, make new friends in middle school, is it that important/does it make sense to keep the entire elementary school at the same high school even at the expense of commute? I’m feeling like aligning middle schools to high schools is more important?

Well the obvious answer for Westfield is Poplar Tree. Brookfield is the bulk of Chantilly HS's FARMs kids so they won't move them out.

Not according to the current scenario listed in the boundary proposal website. It shows some townhomes on the western side of Walney Rd. right near Wegmans as currently Cub Run/Franklin/Westfield.

No it's not. Poplar Tree has walkers to both Rocky Run and Chantilly.
