[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I look at the existing Westfield boundary and the new Westfield boundary, it looks like it has been split into half where the upper half goes to Skyview and lower half goes to Westfield. So what is the outcry about? Or am I missing something? [/quote]

FCPS is not loading Westfield by fanning out from it's borders, Loudoun County, Prince William County.   The upper half is Dulles/Floris to Skyview so the [b]only base schools to load Westfield are Chantilly and Centreville[/b].  All 3 at large members should be active participants in loading Westfield to at least 90% since the final has Chantilly at 99%.

The building is 6.5 miles from the Manassas National Battlefield Park.  Westfield was built core capacity 2500 but got a classroom only addition of about 300 so the actual original building is cramped at full program capacity.  Common sense would move some part time Chantilly academy classes to the Westfield addition.

[b]South Lakes does not border other jurisdictions and is surrounded by 6 FCPS contiguous school boundaries.  Similar for Oakton. [/b][/quote]

A "final scenario" that leaves Westfield at 74% with its two neighboring schools at 101% and 99% is patently absurd. Someone at FCPS needs to grow a spine.[/quote]

Agreed, they have the ability to move ES that are a reasonable distance to Westfield and drop both Chantilly and Centreville to the low 90% capacity. That would make sense. It is probably one ES from each one of the schools. Then all of the schools are  probably at 90% capacity and have some additional space in the building.

SLHS will be at 83% capacity without Floris and Fox Mill, the issue there is that they are losing more MC and UMC students that bolster the IB classes. [/quote]
