[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the more kids you suggest moving, the more unhappy parents you will have. Sure, they aren't YOUR kids so on paper it makes sense to YOU to move kids from FHS to CVHS, from CHS to WFHS, from CVHS to WFHS to "fill seats".

Come up with a proposal that moves the fewest kids and doesn't make any existing school worse off.

(The only people who want to move are the families hoping to upgrade from Westfield to a nice new school or from the drive to Oakton to a nice new school.) [/quote]
I get what you’re saying, but the location of the school is unfortunate in that it’s smack dab in the middle of Westfield boundaries. Let’s say they turn Floris into a split feeder, since it shares a boundary with the rest of Westfield. Much of Floris is Dulles Airport and business parks. The SPAs can be viewed from the Coates study (https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/Coates-Area-Boundary-Maps.pdf) The closest SPAs that border Westfield are less than 10 students each, and the one with actual students in it is in the walk zone for Carson and KAA.[/quote]

1.While KAA is within the Westfield boundary  It is separated from Westfield by Dulles Airport, commercial areas, and industrial and warehouse areas.  I would not call it in the "smack dab in the middle of Westfield boundary."
2.Floris is ALREADY a split feeder with South Lakes.
3.I don't understand your SPA analysis.  I think you missed those neighborhoods along West Ox that are Floris/Westfield.  The ones along Monroe go to South Lakes.[/quote]
