[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crossfield now want a magnet school so they don’t get sent to KAA. Pathetic.[/quote]

[b]Where have they publicly advocated for this?[/b] Last I heard they were advocating for Option B of the four maps. I didn't hear anyone at a meeting say KAA should be a magnet. Are they lobbying school board members behind closed doors or something? [/quote]

On their own website:

This is not Crossfield's website. This is the website of maybe 20 people, most of whom have older kids already at Oakton and want their younger kids to go to the same high school. They've maybe joined up with 10 other people who have kids in Navy AAP and like all other Navy parents, are insane.[/quote]

If it’s not crossfield’s website then why did the crossfield elementary school officially send out a newsletter with a link to this website last week?

Obviously the select few powers at be in the Crossfield PTO have their claws in the school and are driving the ship with this website and the school messaging itself. This should not come as a surprise to anyone who knows how the PTO operates. [/quote]

The same people run the Crossfield PTO and the rooted website. Of courses they’re going to use Crossfield communications to promote the site. I’ve heard the Crossfield principal is heavily influenced by the PTO parents.[/quote]

Who cares?  Look at how the entire Town of Vienna government is throwing a fit to keep all TOV kids assigned to a high school that isn’t even in the TOV.

As long as Reid and the School Board pander to the loudest voices people are going to get louder, whether it relates to Western or any other desired or undesired school.  [/quote]

I don't live in the Town of Vienna, but I have friends who grew up there--and their parents did, as well.
Madison is very much supported by the residents and it would be a shame to split it up.

This is from the fcps.edu Madison profile from the principal's statement:

[b]James Madison High School, a staple of the Vienna Community, has served its residents for over 59 years. Madison High School opened in September 1959 and has undergone three major renovations with the last one completed in 2003.[/b]

People who live in these "towns" shouldn't get preferential treatment as far as boundaries compared to any other FCPS student or area.[/quote]
