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.

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.

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.

Scenario 3 moves all the newly zoned Navy kids to Chantilly, but it also rezones a portion of them to Waples Mill > Oakton. However, if they aren’t touching ES boundaries now, then there will still be a portion of Navy kids who go to Oakton.

I thought that was actually in Scenario 1?

Since they aren’t touching the elementary school boundaries my guess is they would revise the maps then so those kids would stay with the Navy cohort. I am eager to see the new maps at the end of the month.

The scenarios are all crazy because there are too many moving pieces. There are separate issues that really do not affect Chantilly (it is pretty much a given that Oak Hill will leave), Centreville, and Westfield.

Whether Fox Mill or Crossfield goes to Skyview (and one of them should be a given) has nothing to do with how to backfill Westfield. Neither of those schools really has anything to do with Chantilly, Centreville, or Westfield.

So, they have put the shift between Fox Mill and Crossfield into maps while they are shifting around schools south of 50 to determine who goes to Westfield.

These should be two separate things. The only thing that confused the issue was when they put Lee's Corner into the mix--when it should not have been there.

There should be maps for Skyview (north of 50) and separate maps for filling Westfield (south of 50) for high school.

After that, they can figure out middle schools.

I think it would be easier to have separate maps but the issue of who gets sent to Westfield does kind of depend on who gets sent to Skyview.

Not really. The Skyview schools leaving Westfield are logical. One of the two closest schools to Skyview is Floris. Skyview is actually located in the Floris boundary. If you take the schools beyond Floris (McNair and Coates) and keep them at Westfield, they remain an island.

No one north of 50 should be at Skyview and no one south of 50 should be at Westfield. That is pretty simple.

Did FCPS say only areas south of 50 would go to Westfield? Don't two of the maps have areas north of 50 zoned for Westfield? Where are you getting this Route 50 designation?

Correct. 2/3rds of the proposed scenarios have areas of north of 50 at Westfield.

In your opinion. But FCPS has not said any such thing. As pp mentioned, Westfield is very close to Route 50. That's a very arbitrary statement to make.

Hypothetically, we know this school board isn't opposed to islands or split feeders, if they make SB members or Reid happy.

If they are having difficulty zoning to Westfield, coming up with random lines a mile out from the school building would be completely crazy to do. Its route 50, not I-95.

I don't see what route 50 has to do with anything. It runs very close to Skyview, Westfield and Chantilly. Who cares?

Will any of the changes to the boundaries to Skyview that impact Chatilly, Centreville and Westfields trickle into changes to Robinson and Fairfax since Willow and some Clifton OakView kids are closer to Centreville but are bused far East?

I completely disagree with this. Crossfield not going to Skyview and demanding Franklin MS (to stay at Oakton) forces out many Chantilly families from Franklin MS. That disrupts the Navy cohort at the middle school level. And now to compensate they are splitting up Navy to Franklin and Rocky Run. Which hurts the Navy Oakton families who get sent to Rocky Run.

Crossfield not going to Skyview forces more Westfield families to have to fill Skyview, as a result leaving a greater hole at Westfield that has to be backfilled. They tried to use Lees Corner, a school in walking distance of Chantilly, to backfill Westfield.

They really need to set the boundary for Skyview, leave everyone else alone and see how Skyview relieves overviewing at the other high schools first before making huge changes.

Look at a map. It makes perfect sense. Sure, Westfield is not far from 50--but the area where Stonecroft crosses 50 has no residential areas. Go take a drive or look at a map.

The scenarios are all crazy because there are too many moving pieces. There are separate issues that really do not affect Chantilly (it is pretty much a given that Oak Hill will leave), Centreville, and Westfield.

Whether Fox Mill or Crossfield goes to Skyview (and one of them should be a given) has nothing to do with how to backfill Westfield. Neither of those schools really has anything to do with Chantilly, Centreville, or Westfield.

So, they have put the shift between Fox Mill and Crossfield into maps while they are shifting around schools south of 50 to determine who goes to Westfield.

These should be two separate things. The only thing that confused the issue was when they put Lee's Corner into the mix--when it should not have been there.

There should be maps for Skyview (north of 50) and separate maps for filling Westfield (south of 50) for high school.

After that, they can figure out middle schools.

I completely disagree with this. Crossfield not going to Skyview and demanding Franklin MS (to stay at Oakton) forces out many Chantilly families from Franklin MS. That disrupts the Navy cohort at the middle school level. And now to compensate they are splitting up Navy to Franklin and Rocky Run. Which hurts the Navy Oakton families who get sent to Rocky Run.

Crossfield not going to Skyview forces more Westfield families to have to fill Skyview, as a result leaving a greater hole at Westfield that has to be backfilled. They tried to use Lees Corner, a school in walking distance of Chantilly, to backfill Westfield.

They really need to set the boundary for Skyview, leave everyone else alone and see how Skyview relieves overviewing at the other high schools first before making huge changes.

It seems like Crossfield getting some special promise from FCPS to move to Franklin messed up all the middle school boundaries in the area. Is that why that neighborhood near Rocky Run is being sent all the way over to Liberty? That's nonsense.

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.

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.

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.

Scenario 3 moves all the newly zoned Navy kids to Chantilly, but it also rezones a portion of them to Waples Mill > Oakton. However, if they aren’t touching ES boundaries now, then there will still be a portion of Navy kids who go to Oakton.

I think it would be easier to have separate maps but the issue of who gets sent to Westfield does kind of depend on who gets sent to Skyview.

Not really. The Skyview schools leaving Westfield are logical. One of the two closest schools to Skyview is Floris. Skyview is actually located in the Floris boundary. If you take the schools beyond Floris (McNair and Coates) and keep them at Westfield, they remain an island.

No one north of 50 should be at Skyview and no one south of 50 should be at Westfield. That is pretty simple.

Try again.

Look at a map. It makes perfect sense. Sure, Westfield is not far from 50--but the area where Stonecroft crosses 50 has no residential areas. Go take a drive or look at a map.

it doesn't make sense at all to draw an artificial barrier so close to the high school when FCPS needs to cast a wide net to balance a population across schools.

There are many residential areas on the other side of route 50 that are very close to Westfield, so no, it doesn't make sense.

Did FCPS say this somewhere as a rule? I do not recall that.
