[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is absolutely nothing Westfield parents could have done here. The SB and FCPS decided Westfield was going to be the Biggest Loser in the boundary game. There is no rationale otherwise for the decisions they are making. The new Brookfield split feeder is literally like they looked at the map and tried to figure out who to move based on which neighborhoods had the least political/economic power.

Never in other rezonings have they let individual neighborhoods dictate where their kids are going to go to school. [/quote]

I agree with this. What happened in previous rezonings was the SB member of that area was greatly deferred to. Since she is part of the Reid loving "in" group, she probably personally dictated the last two scenarios. She probably decided on that Brookfield split including Walney Oaks--maybe she didn't realize WO had gotten a special deal from someone else. That's why the map had to be pulled down and edited. She personally decided to move that one apartment area out of Centreville. The other SB members probably don't even know the specifics of where the apartments are, where the SFHes are.[/quote]

I think this is exactly what happened. She moved the Walney Oaks area to give herself cover on moving those Bull Run apartments and Chantilly Mews area. That's why all the slide shows and the address search had Walney Oaks moving. But Reid had personally promised some rando at a meeting not to move WO. So the published map got pulled down and edited (but they forgot to edit the slides and tool bar until someone mentioned it on here). [/quote]

So incredibly stupid for Michelle Reid to have gone on a walking tour auctioning off boundaries earlier with zero understanding of county geography or the implications for other schools.  She never had any business heading a school division this big.  [/quote]
What’s worse is members of the primary voting block speak against things like “surveys” and “community feedback” because marginalized voices are drowned out, and it impedes Reid’s ability to enact her recommendations. Meanwhile, Reid’s recommendations are entirely based on whichever HOA has charmed her first. The school board will blindly vote in her favor, regardless. [/quote]
