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

This is pure bullshit. We NEED a high school in western Fairfax. The board stated this is going to happen. The rich parents of Langley are insane - there's not demand for 2000 more seats in a STEM-focused school. We don't need another TJ, we have one. What we need is a school were my kids won't be on a bus on the highway for 45 minutes just to get to high school. [/quote]

DP.  Of course there's a demand for additional seats at a STEM-focused magnet.  TJ turns away far more students than it admits, and many of those turned away are from Western Fairfax and Loudoun.

Whether KAA should be used for that purpose or for a neighborhood high school, as multiple School Board members suggested earlier this year, is a different question.  But if there were an additional STEM magnet, or a humanities magnet for that matter, the demand would absolutely be there.  [/quote]

And, leave the area that needs the high school empty handed once more.

I don't think this area has any BRAC reps.[/quote]

If that were to happen, you'd have plenty of company.  It's not like FCPS hasn't been screwing over other areas for many years.

It seems like the most likely scenario is that KAA will be used as a neighborhood high school but people justifiabily are mystified by Reid's assertions that the acquisition won't have any impact on the boundary review.  If it's going to be a neighborhood school, by definition it's going to require boundary adjustments before the school opens.   [/quote]
