[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is the region 5 fcps stooge?

Region 5 should want to talk about KAA boundaries first.[/quote]

THIS!  As a resident in the Herndon/Chantilly area I'm pretty sure there is nothing more impactful to Region 5 boundaries than the KAA acquisition.  The fact that the board and Reid aren't even remotely addressing this is shocking.[/quote]

Perhaps the Fairfax Citizens Assoc crew and any related BRAC reps will remove KAA as a base school. IDK. https://www.fairfaxfederation.org/_files/ugd/8bf868_d128de909f284981a476bef5d4429396.pdf

What shocks me is that any and all BRAC reps whether pyramid or special interest are not complaining about meeing/discussion/information for Marshall in Region 5.   The FCPS creation of the Marshall Pyramid Island, largest in FCPS.

The 8/5/25 slide show on transfers appears to be a placeholder meeting simply reformatting  stuff from  2/21/25 program listing and 3/26/25 [splits, MS 6-8, transfers].  https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/20250221_SuperintendentBoundaryReviewAdvisoryCommitteePresentation.pdf

I don't know where all the pyramid members are from.  However, doing a quick google of the pyramid reps from Chantilly, Westfield, South Lakes, and Oakton (all have elementary schools in KAA area) I can find no representative who lives in the KAA area.  South Lakes appears to be repped by Reston residents.  Chantilly reps appear to live between Chantilly and Centreville.  One Westfield rep appears to live in Centreville.  One Oakton rep appears to live in Blake Lane area.

This is just a casual google search of the names.  And, it may not be accurate.  It is certainly not comprehensive. But, this illustrates why the KAA site is so important to this area.  This area appears to have no representation on BRAC.

And, the people most vocal complaining about KAA are all from the current Langley area.  Why do they care so much?

And, no.  It does not need to be a magnet school.  It needs to be a "regular" high school that accommodates the local area.

Absolutely - once again, people in Oak Hill and southern Herndon are getting ignored by the school board, and because Langley parents who live nowhere near us seem to think their children deserve a TJ that is closer to their house, we're probably not going to get our high school. Who are these people and why do they hate us?[/quote]

Why are you getting so worked up and seeing Langley parents behind every corner.

I think a PP brought up the letter from this obscure "Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations" again because they wanted to flag the fact that FCPS and Thru Consulting still don't seem to dealing with how the KAA purchase might affect school boundaries.  But I don't think that person necessarily lives in the Langley pyramid (they seem particularly interested in issues affecting Marshall) or necessarily shares the views expressed in that FCFCA letter.  Rather they just seem to be another poster confused by what the hell FCPS thinks it's doing with this ongoing boundary review. [/quote]
