[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they had done this properly and stuck to objective standards, this could have been settled months ago.  And, with a lot less angst.

In the past, SB members were always non-committal to neighborhoods, while at least pretending to listen.  I never recall an earlier superintendent making promises or even getting involved.  Staff was involved, but we never saw the superintendents.

It was mostly SB members doing the wheeling and dealing, but they were careful not to make promises.

Reid promised Walney Oaks.  Somehow, they were taken totally out of the equation.  And, those final scenarios did not include most of Crossfield.

I don't see them changing it now, but the School Board could if they wanted to do so.  I don't think they will.

I still wonder if Kyle McDaniel and Melanie Meren will join together at the last minute to strike some sort of deal with everyone else to swap Crossfield and Fox Mill. They both seem pretty adamant about putting Crossfield at Skyview and keeping Fox Mill out.[/quote]

Why would they do this when it would piss off so many people?[/quote]

Does a better job of balancing the enrollments at Oakton and South Lakes.

Gets rid of some of the longest commutes to a high school in FCPS.

Does not start to recreate the conditions that led a prior School Board to move kids into South Lakes in 2008.

Relieves overcrowding at Oakton at a time when substantial residential growth is expected closer to OHS.

Keeps families already mostly at an AP school at an AP school.

The path of least resistance is to move Fox Mill but objectively moving Crossfield to Skyview makes more sense.  But we have a School Board and superintendent who regularly cater to the loudest voices with the most money.[/quote]
