+1. Total incompetence and possible malfeasance.[/quote]

No, we need a western hs and have for years. This is a rare opportunity and I’m glad they seized it. Let’s hope they don’t go to their usual ways and screw it up.[/quote]

Why is it needed? Is that to deal with the overcapacity at Herndon high?[/quote]

Seems like it's a HS that would pull from Coates, McNair, Floris, Oak Hill, and Fox Mill.  Westfield can then pick up more of Centreville and the Centreville expansion can be scaled back significantly (while still allowing it to pick up Willow Springs).

People will go along with moving to a school with those feeders in a way they never would have gone along with a new school near Hutchison.

They can still move part of Coates into the Herndon pyramid.  It just means Herndon isn't part of a solution to overcrowding at Chantilly and increases the likelihood that at some point they will move part of Langley into Herndon.

Left out Crossfield. All of Franklin Farm should be included,

Absolutely Crossfield and maybe Navy.[/quote]

Well, let's see.

The property sits in the Floris district.  Floris is a Westfield feeder.

There are two Westfield feeders north of Floris - Coates and McNair.  So if Floris goes to "McLearen HS," they need to pull Coates and McNair out of Westfield as well.  Maybe Coates goes to Herndon or maybe it goes to McLearen.  McNair definitely goes with Floris to McLearen.

Then you have Oak Hill and Fox Mill as clearly going to McLearen along with Floris, McNair, and maybe/maybe not Coates.

It's a fancy building but not a huge one so it may only have five feeders.  If they bite the bullet and send Coates to Herndon (people have debated whether FCPS would send a high-FARMS school like Coates to Herndon) then it can pick up Crossfield.  Navy seems more likely to stay at Chantilly and Oakton.  We spent a lot of money expanding Oakton and moving Crossfield would already pull a lot of kids out. [/quote]

Don't be stupid. Herndon is much further away from Crossfield than this new school, South Lakes, and Chantilly. Plus, Crossfield is zoned to Carson and most of the kids live in Franklin Farm and the neighborhoods off of West Ox Rd. They will move it to the new HS.[/quote]

You don’t have to be such a jerk.  We don’t know how much capacity this school (which will be in Herndon unless you’re going to pretend 20171 isn’t Herndon) will have, but it’s clear they will leave some folks at Oakton who might like to move. [/quote]
