[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I heard McDaniel say he supports children attending schools within walking distance. Under Scenario 1, Franklin/Skyview, we are within walking distance to Franklin MS. Is McDaniel in favor of making kids go to Carson MS instead of attending Franklin MS? [/quote]

I believe that one of the other goals is to end split feeders. If kids from Oak Hill attend franklin, they will go to Chantilly. If kids from Oak Hill attend Carson they will go to Skyview. The parents I know at Oak Hill have said they would rather bus to Carson and go to Skyview with their ES friends then walk to Franklin and go to Chantilly knowing fewer people. This is especially true given the number of Oak Hill AAP kids that choose to attend Carson for AAP. It is a short bus ride and the busses already run.

Meren, for as much as I dislike her, has not deleted comments from people posting how they feel about the process. There are people upset with the SLHS change and people happy to be moving. I think the tone has been respectful all around. There are SLHS families unhappy with the change. Boundary changes are not going to make everyone happy. The school board has done its best to allow families to stay in place who want to regardless of the impact.

SLHS going to 85% is not an issue, especially with the construction. I think the families are more upset at what families are leaving than losing students. Westfield going to 74% is an issue especially since one of the goals of buying Skyview was to relieve Centreville and the Board is choosing not to do that while drastically dropping the enrollment at Westfield. Bull Run ES should move in totality to Westfield, not just the poor section of BRES. [/quote]
