FCPS Boundary Review Updates

[Anonymous]

Error on the Thru slides for 5/5/25 capacity? :
Westfield HS +93 from Chantilly [slide 15]
Westfield HS +115 from Centreville [slide 13]
to South Lakes from Westfield -121 [slide 13]
net Westfield actual changes were +87.

Westfield had membership 2710 [97% capacity], net Thru -6 would not bump it to 100% as stated by Thru.

Not sure I understand your net Thru -6

There is a lot of new construction in the Westfield boundary--and in the Chantilly boundary that was added to Westfield.

You are correct. It would not bring it to 100%. It would bring it to 99.6%
Happy?

Thru slides use actual 2024-25 school year membership. Do the computation on adding students to Westfield from 2 school sites and sending students from Westfield to 1 other site. Did I miss a HS add to Westfield besides Chantilly and Centreville? Thru wrote negative 6 for the net impact on Westfield membership.

A net decrease in a numerator would never give an increase in the result assuming a constant denominator. Denominator on all this stuff is design capacity.

General public should not have to add slides. Thru should have included all Westfield impacts on 1 slide to get to rounded 100%. Simple to provide clarity.

Well, they should scheduling meetings by pyramid to discuss these changes, and they didn’t do that, either. Many of the meetings are at schools where no changes are proposed, while people at some affected schools will have to travel miles to be heard.

They really don’t give a shit about FCPS families or local communities.

Thru showed each change separately. The effect of the proposed changes to reduce the enrollment at Centreville was -6 at Westfield (115 Centreville kids to Westfield and 121 Westfield kids to South Lakes). The effect of the proposed changes to reduce the enrollment at Chantilly was +93 at Westfield (and +34 to Oakton). Taken together, the changes would add 87 kids to Westfield.

The denominator used to show the impact of individual proposals was program capacity, not design capacity. Adding 87 kids to Westfield would have brought it up to 99.6% of its program capacity in 2024-25.

Have they gotten community input from households without school-aged children? What do they think?

[Anonymous]

I'm wondering if any of the posters advocating for other people's kids to be moved have now been affected by their own kids being rezoned?

Anyone?

We need more choice in SB elections. People around here need to not be afraid to vote red in local elections

Where do your kids go that you’re so hyper fixated on Langley and other peoples kids. No one else in the county looks at a map and points out where they think other peoples kids should go or why borders are the way they are. There are a lot of things that looking at paper don’t make sense but just looking at a map doesn’t paint the whole picture. Focus on your own kids

We have some older people in our neighborhood who plan to put in their feedback based on house choice even though Reid won’t care about that part.

I wanted to vote red, but the choices were abysmal. It can't be that hard to find a moderate out there.

Not sure you should expected any other outcome. Throwing middle class kids under the bus while protecting the wealthiest has been their modus operandi for a long time.
