[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Chantilly parent and emailed the entire SB individually and Reid's office about keeping the Chantilly Mews kids here. I got a form reply about a public hearing from Reid's assistant and nothing from anyone else.
Not even a "thanks for reaching out" form email.

I think they were incredibly naive. They thought everyone in western Fairfax would love them for upending the CIP to spend money on a new HS near Carson. I’m sure most of them gave very little thought until recently to what the back end adjustments might look like, and even then most are probably just hunkered down and deferring to Reid and Dixit.

Remember:
We were in the midst of a comprehensive boundary study.
Chantilly was bursting at the seams.
Westfield was full.
South Lakes was full.
Oakton close to being overcrowded.
Fairfax full.

This school was needed.  Period.[/quote]
DP. I don’t think most of us are against the purchase. We are against taking 700 students out of Westfield without any apparent thought to how that would impact the school and leaving other schools at or over capacity and gerrymandering catchment areas because people called in favors or badgered the School Board.

There are kids along Walney being sent to Westfield.  Hopefully.. they won't send Chantilly Mews because that would be a hardship to that community.

I've no idea what the Centreville/Westfield issue is, but we were told that Centreville is overcrowded and there are a lot of trailers there.  That could be addressed if Dixit would do so.  That is her problem.

But, had there been no Skyview, what would have been the result?  Answer: highly overcrowded Chantilly and overcrowded Westfield with continuing overcrowding at Centreville.

That is a result of poor decision making on the part of Reid and Dixit. There is a solution, but Skyview is not the problem.[/quote]
