[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Westfield PTA should be asking for special concessions from FCPS on their school's staffing formulas to try and keep at least some of their classes and teachers. FCPS isn't going to give them a reasonable number of students bc they are too cowardly, so they might be willing to throw some money at the problem instead.

I agree and I think this is probably the best they are going to get. Even only having to fill a class with 20 kids instead of 32 to run the class would be hugely helpful to keeping some electives and AP classes (although they will be losing many, many teachers and courses either way).[/quote]

Why would Westfield get a special accommodation when high schools that stand to lose students due to upcoming boundary changes include Centreville, Chantilly, Fairfax, South Lakes, Marshall, McLean, Justice, and West Potomac?

Or, if the anticipated enrollment (2083) at Westfield is the basis for the suggestion, what about the schools that are projected to have fewer students, which include Herndon, Marshall, South County, Falls Church, South Lakes, Annandale, Mount Vernon, Skyview, and Lewis?

Were any of those other schools selected by FCPS to lose 700 students in 2 years? I am not familiar with all of the areas. [/quote]

I agree, its not the number of students left (albeit absurd and wasteful for such a large building), its losing so many students/teachers/classes in such a short time, all by design by FCPS. It’s literally a problem FCPS chose to create for the Westfield students. It’s completely different than an overcrowded school like Centreville or Chantilly having students shifted out.[/quote]

Yep. Pottery Barn Rule- you break it, you buy it. [/quote]
