[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

DP. Yeah, fcfca isn’t a Langley-group. This seems like the Langley-hater at it again.

Bets about whether she’s on the region 5 BRAC?[/quote]

Who knows, but I don't think it's a coincidence that a poster is trying to stir up Langley hate around the same time that people are incensed that BRAC members from Region 5 announced that it was one of their top three priorities to see Langley kids who don't live in Region 5 redistricted to a school that also isn't in Region 5. [/quote]

No.  Not promoting Langley hate at all.  But, the comment was made on here that Region 5 should have expressed more concern about KAA.  I live in KAA area, Region 5 and I agree.  But, pp a few pages back was blaming the Region 5 comment on this area.  And,this area has no rep that I am aware of on the BRAC committee.

And, it does appear to be the Langley people most against the KAA purchase.  That is not speculation.

I have never suggested or promoted that Forestville should move to Herndon.  However, there are plenty of people on here who have suggested that my neighborhood move to Herndon (thirty minutes away) rather than have a new high school.  Since FairFACTs matters has promoted the idea that FCPS use existing facilities, I can only assume that is where the comment originates.[/quote]

1) You can’t say “it does appear to be” and then the next sentence say “That is not speculation” because that is quite literally speculation. Textbook definition.

2) Can you point us to FFM promoting using existing facilities? I don’t remember ever hearing that being a platform of theirs.[/quote]
