[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]was initially Chantilly,[/b] for example.  It's far and away the closest and they would still be there if there were room.

But, Bull Run is mostly equidistant.  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.)

When was Franklin Farm zoned to Chantilly? 🤔

I grew up in Franklin Farm. My oldest sister graduated from Oakton in 1988. My next sister graduated from Oakton in 1993. I graduated from Oakton in 1996. My younger brother graduated from Oakton in 2000.

My parents had kids at Oakton almost non-stop from 1984-2000, and their former house is still in the Oakton district.

The only year Franklin Farm existed and I can't guarantee that it was zoned to Oakton is 1983-1984, but it seems highly unlikely that the school assignment got changed one year after rhe first houses in the neighborhood were built.

How could you have grown up in Franklin Farm and be oblivious to the fact that all the homes west of the parkway go to Chantilly? It’s all the kids who go to Oal Hill for ES. [/quote]

Don't be daft. PP was responding to the person who said Franklin Farm was zoned to Chantilly before Oakton. The half of FF that is zoned to Oakton has ALWAYS been zoned to Oakton.[/quote]
