[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that we're all focused on our own kids but I think the school board should think about future kids. I know the current moms think they are rooted in the Oakton community but moms of toddlers aren't at all. They would prefer the closer school.[/quote]

I don’t know that to be true. I’m indifferent on the outcome but in my neighborhood currently zoned to Oakton we have several families with kids in preschool who are recent home buyers and just as fired up as some of the families with older kids. I try to remind them we have no idea what any of the schools will be like in a decade plus. [/quote]

By the time preschoolers are in high school, there definitely won't be space for them at Oakton. They will end up at South Lakes or Herndon. Western is a better bet. It's ridiculous that parents can't see that.[/quote]

[b]No.  1.  It is way too far from Herndon. [/b] 2 Langley will be full and the kids who live near Herndon will be assigned there.[/quote]

I'm not saying I want to go there, but Herndon HS is 1/2 a mile closer to my house on the eastern edge of Franklin Farm than Oakton. You know what other schools are closer to my house than Oakton? South Lakes, Chantilly, and of course Western. Heck, if you're looking at miles, even Westfield is closer to my house even though it would take MUCH longer to get there.[/quote]
