[quote=Anonymous]The Langley boundary is ten times more ridiculous and far-flung than Westfield's at the moment.

If FCPS is prioritizing as the #1 priority zoning the closest areas to the closest high schools, that's bad news for the people who want to stay at Chantilly as those neighborhoods are much closer to Westfield than any other neighborhood (don't come at me, Lees Corner booster, we can all read a google map in miles).

If FCPS is prioritizing as #1 priority eliminating split feeders, then the Centreville parts of Bull Run get moved. (This didn't seem to be the #1 priority in the county wide adjustment.)

If the #1 priority is balancing FARMs rates across neighboring schools, that means Chantilly areas get moved.

If the #1 priority is minimizing OVERALL transportation miles by all the zoned students to a school, then Chantilly areas get moved.

If the #1 priority is not moving kids from a closer school to a farther away school, then its a coin toss as Bull Run is closer to Centreville, and Chantilly areas are closer to Chantilly. If we are prioritizing walkers, then some areas of Chantilly stay but other areas are up for grabs.

Prioritizing moving kids out of the MOST overcrowded school? Then Chantilly kids go. Prioritizing moving kids out of any overcrowded school? Then its another coin toss as both Centreville and Chantilly are over crowded.

Prioritizing the areas with the loudest, most aggressive, and most politically connected advocates? Then Bull Run is the clear loser. This is actually the only "priority" we have seen evidence of mattering so far in this process with Walney Oaks sucking up to Reid and the Lees Corner people flooding the two meetings and getting promises from two SB members.

Basically its a coin flip on which areas should be moved, there are equal arguments either way and anyone who can't see that is clearly biased towards their own neighborhood's interests.

If FCPS had the intellectual honesty and political courage to state priorities clearly, there wouldn't be so much controversy.  [/quote]
