[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict FCPS would choose Option B or something close to it, where the vast majority of Crossfield kids won't get moved.

Read Sample Letter #1.

[i]At a minimum, we request that the same number of boundary scenario maps be released for the Western High School as have been provided for other boundary studies. Without this, it is impossible for families to provide informed feedback. [/i]

The pro-Oakton families asked for multiple scenarios, and FCPS gave them four options.

Also from Letter 1:

[i]Finally, I respectfully request that FCPS pause and slow down the Western High School boundary revision process until comprehensive, transparent, and equitable information is shared.[/i]

The pro-Oakton families requested that FCPS pause and slow down the Western High School boundary revision process, and FCPS responded by delaying the decision until June.

Now the pro-Oakton families are pivoting to Option B since the magnet school is off the table. Read Sample Letter #4.

[i]I urge the School Board to select Boundary Option B and to demonstrate its commitment to stability, continuity, and student-centered decision-making. [/i]

I think they are going to get what they want.

The only question is Mr. McDaniel, as he was the only one openly asking for relief to Oakton and a solution for the long ride from Crossfield to Oakton.

But for other board members, it would be an easy choice. The Western HS won't be like Justice HS, where nobody wanted to be reassigned to. Other elementary school parents, including Floris, McNair, Coates, Oak Hill, and Fox Mill parents, would actively want or not mind moving to the Western HS.

You're under-estimating the number of Chantilly families who'd prefer to stay at Chantilly rather than move to a new school. [/quote]

Overestimating the degree to which other groups want to attend the new school is a core part of the rooted in Oakton strategy. Note they are also happy to say that the Oak Hill ES community would just be fine with getting moved to Carson and out of Franklin, so they can slide in there. [/quote]

This is common sense, though, if they keep Crossfield at Oakton. The schools that feed to Western should go to Carson. The schools that feed to Oakton and Chantilly should go to Franklin. Fox Mill is the wildcard, I guess. If they end up at Western, they stay at Carson, but if they don't, then I guess they should move them to Hughes.[/quote]
