[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As between South Lakes and Oakton Reid seems to be suggesting more of SL might get moved into KAA than Oakton based on the drafts she's been reviewing.  Obviously reading the tea leaves.  [/quote]

As a Fox Mill parent, please let this be true. Move the Fox Mill and Floris kids at SLHS to KAA.

Or get rid of IB at SLHS. Either would be appreciated. [/quote]I'd be shocked if Fox Mill's included. If it is, they would have to backfill with another ES - expanding the impacted communities - and undoing enough of the SLHS redistricting to put it back on the road to Lewis' status.[/quote]

Exactly, if they pull all of Floris and Fox Mill out of SLHS, and down the road close the Herndon to SLHS IB transfers, then SLHS will start looking like what it sounds like is happening at Lewis.  SLHS falling back into what it was before the 2008 changes.  I think Coates, McNair, Oak Hill, and the majority of Floris are a shoo-in for KAA, but how the rest is filled is where the battle and consternation will be (Remainder of Floris, Fox Mill, Crossfield).[/quote]

Look at boundary maps for Colvin Run, the entire Route 7 strip, Hunter Mill Rd.   Thru moved a paltry number of Westbriar Island to Colvin Run where the residential access road is Route 7.  The rest of it is a large island.  Then find Sunrise Valley, feeds to Hughes /South Lakes.

One of the 3 C's at Colvin Run shares an access road with a newer and more expensive dev that was sent to Forest Edge. Road network leads to Hunter Mill and Route 7.  Fact is SLHS could pick up students from Marshall and Langley.  Oakton ES is a split?  Could get some from there and Madison?[/quote]

The Westbriar island should move to Colvin Run-Cooper-Langley.  Period. It’s ridiculous to have such an isolated island.

If that means some of Great Falls needs to move from Langley to Herndon, so be it.  [/quote]
The Westbriar island is actually closest to SLHS. The neighborhoods are mostly made up of terminal roads that branch off of Belulah and Browns Mill, so while it’s physically close to Colvin Run, transportation savings could be negligible. Either solution would make a lot more sense than the current proposal. [/quote]

So they can send those students to sunrise elementary and south lakes high[/quote]

These families haven't seen their kids bused past Sunrise Valley for years on their way to Westbriar, just Colvin Run.

Region 5 specifically asked Thru to model moving the island to Colvin Run, Cooper, and Langley.  Did that even happen?   Leaving it as a stranded Westbriar-Kilmer-Marshall island is absurd. [/quote]

bussed by or not sunrise valley is a bit closer and hughes SL is a lot closer than cooper langley. so if they don’t what to be an island they can switch that way. [/quote]

It's always interesting to see when distance does and doesn't matter for the Cooper-Langley gatekeepers.  [/quote]
