[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the other proposed maps in the other versions had Westfield with a more reasonable population-at least 23-400 students by pulling from Lees Corner, or Bull Run, or the Walney area, etc. This "final" map is the only one that dipped all the way down to @2000. I'm sure the Westfield people were taken aback by that. [/quote]

Where were all the people thinking an enrollment of 2300 or 2400 kids is "reasonable" when FCPS was refusing to invest in other schools and downsizing them?  [b]If Westfield ends up with 2150 kids[/b] or so, it will still have an enrollment larger than nine other high schools, including Skyview.  [/quote]

The projection has it at only 2083, which is fewer than 2150, with the only MC neighborhood[b] being rezoned lobbying FCPS hard to get out.[/b] There's no chance they add more kids in but based on the shenanigans so far, there's a likely chance they move kids back to Chantilly, which would leave them with 1900 or fewer.

How would changes happen at this point? At the SB meeting, someone on the SB would have to make a motion to edit the map, which would have to win by majority, right?[/quote]

Yes, I think this is correct. I don't think anyone on the current SB wants to go on the record as being for or against any particular area's desires, so any changes are a really tough sell. They are 1000% more likely to just accept the "final" map as a done deal. I don't think FCPS/Reid will change anything in the recommendations.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure Meren will be making amendments.  They won't pass.[/quote]

Why p!ss some of her constituents off for no reason? [/quote]

Because she will tick off other constituents if she doesn't.[/quote]
