[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many Bull Run families who live much closer to CVHS than Westfield. So by your standards, they should not be moved.

There are families zoned to CHS who live closer to Westfield. There are families zoned to Langley who live much closer to Herndon. There are families zoned to Oakton who live much closer to like three other schools. There are families zoned to Robinson who live much closer to CVHS. There are people zoned to SLHS who live closer to HHS. etc etc etc etc.

Are you going to upend the boundaries across the entire county based solely on distance? Interesting approach that is sure to be very popular.

No.  But, it is desirable.  A lot of people being bused to Oakton used to live in Chantilly boundary--and most did not want to move to Oakton because of the distance.  Franklin Farm was initially Chantilly, for example.  It's far and away the closest and they would still be there if there were room.

[b]But, Bull Run is mostly equidistant[/b].  And, there is a neighborhood right next door to CVHS.

It is one thing if there is only a mile difference.  But, when the distance rises to the Willow Springs and the Crossfield neighborhoods that go to Oakton, the bus expense enters in.  (And, yes, the Langley people, too.  Eventually, they won't have a choice because of Tyson's expansion.)

Again, its not. Many of the BR families are much closer to CVHS. That doesn't matter to you, though, for some reason, even though you claim distance should be one of the most important factors.[/quote]
