[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the Westfield parents who are unhappy - has anyone tried contacting the whole school board and Dr. Reid and pointing out that the process seems contaminated by school boundary gerrymandering? [/quote] Yes. Crickets from all of them.[/quote] Same here. From the start. As a WHS family I accepted that the board’s decision to purchase KAA would basically rip apart WHS. We are so heavily impacted that I did expect the board to consider what is good for all FCPS stakeholders and to put as much thought and consideration into how they leave WHS as to how they create Skyview. I was never looking to gerrymander school boundaries and am so disappointed the board seems fine with what appears to be exactly that (in some specific details). [/quote] We are both a WHS family and a Skyview family. Our younger child is excited about a STEM-focused neighborhood school. The older one is checked out after three years at Westfield and feels like there's not much there worth saving.[/quote] Well, some people will not have the choices you’ve been given. Do you really not realize how gratuitously nasty this sounds? [/quote] DP who lives in Skyview area. Do you realize how disconnected from our community Westfield is? The traffic and the location are really difficult when kids want to do afterschool activities. And, 2/3 of the class lives even farther.[/quote] Right, so PP is incapable of expressing appreciation for Skyview without crapping all over Westfield in the process? Clearly PP was not just referring to the distance to the school. [/quote] I'm the PP, and all I did was to pass along the sentiment of my two teenagers.[/quote]
