[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the new high school is that it will trigger a massive re-districting that wouldn't just involve its feeders (Oakton, Herndon, SL, Centreville, Westfield, and Chantilly). Schools like Madison, Falls Church, Stuart, McLean, and Woodson would likely be impacted. From what I've heard, facilities hasn't figured out how the map will look. Until they come up with several possible scenarios, they can't plan to build the school. Both things need to be in place, basically.[/quote]

Nope.  There are six schools in western Fairfax with over 2300 students that can each contribute to a new school that would have over 2200 kids, and still have over 2200 kids themselves.

Whatever capacity issues exist at other schools further east can be addressed separately.  For example, if Stuart and Woodson gets too crowded, they can move kids to Annandale, and move kids from Annandale to Lee.  If Marshall and McLean get too crowded, they can move kids to Langley.  Neither would have anything to do with the new school in western Fairfax.

This. They can easily redistrict the western part of Fairfax without impacting all of Fairfax County and have a new high school. If there are some redistricting needs in central Fairfax, they would be minor. It would help Fairfax compete with Loudoun to have a new high school in Western Fairfax too.[/quote]
