[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One other thing--is BRAC involved?  Chantilly's reps on BRAC live close to the Centreville boundary.  There are no reps from Chantilly or Westfield that live in the Oak Hill area.  Not sure about Oakton or South Lakes.
That does not seem fair.

And, remember, here are the goals of the committee:

Ensure equitable access to programs and facilities.
Balance available capacity to make the best use of our school facilities.
Establish consistent “attendance zones (school boundaries)” by addressing isolated attendance areas (islands) and reducing split feeder patterns.
Minimize travel time for students.[/quote]

Those aren’t necessarily the goals of the BRAC.  They are the factors highlighted in the School Board’s policy.

Not really the same thing, and we’ve watched Reid, Thru, and others basically ignore some of those factors - in particular minimizing travel time - for months. Families have also made it clear they’d prefer stable boundaries over disruptive changes to eliminate attendance islands and split feeders.  Idiots like Rachna Sizemore-Heizer made this a priority when they pushed through Policy 8130 revisions without seeking public input first (and ignoring prior public input), so now they are watering down the other boundary proposals and the Oakton parents opposing a move to Western have taken a page from that playbook.
