Agreed! Could anyone who listened say if they commented on SL or Westfield capacity? Had a prior commitment and could not call in. |

Nothing about South Lakes. The only thing I remember was McDaniel said the entire Floris would go to Skyview. |

| The SB members do not want to discuss how much they are screwing over SLHS and Westfield. |

They can’t say they are leaving South Lakes and Westfield too small because they’ll be bigger than Skyview. They can’t say they are leaving South Lakes and Westfield too poor because they’ll be wealthier than Herndon. If they really wanted to take better care of all the schools in the study they’d be moving more kids but that would get more Chantilly and Oakton families agitated. |

| They will be about the same size as Skyview; but with much larger buildings and much poorer students. |

Is anyone actually from South lakes or Westfield doing this complaining? Seems like it’s a lot of people who aren’t even at those schools who are complaining. |

If the buildings are larger it may speak to an inefficient use of facilities but otherwise it doesn’t seem like it would negatively impact students. |

Losing a third of their teachers is a negative impact. Increasing the schools' farms rates even higher is a negative impact. Losing APs and electives is a negative impact. |

[/quote] In no world are they going to lose a third of their teachers. Westfield will also be losing a lot of FARMs. Isn't South Lakes gaining some kids from Marshall or Madison? South Lakes needs to lose IB. Fox Mill and Floris begged for that twenty years ago and were ignored. |

| Was there anyone at the meeting tonight upset about Scenario 2? I know it has some Oak Hill people upset, not sure about others? |

| They are going from 2750 to 2050 students. They are absolutely going to lose a third of their teachers. |

No one can argue with a straight face that this boundary plan is good for the Westfield students. |
