[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was crystal clear which of the options was the best for the community and the system as a whole.  If they had delayed the comprehensive boundary study and drawn Western first, it would have been much better.

Who knows what they have in mind.  I'm a little suspicious that it will have boundaries, but they won't be logical.[/quote]

The boundaries won’t be logical because FCPS refuses to draw boundaries without listening to the people who complain the most. if it is true that the Crossfield PTO has been meeting with Reid and Gatehouse, then the boundaries are not going to make sense. I understand parents wanting to stay at Oakton, it is a great school, but Crossfield is closer to Western and should move there. It probably won’t because a group of parents is very active in preventing that from happening.

The E map, which I don’t believe was real, looked ridiculous. The map removed Crossfield and Fox Mill but kept Floris which led to this weird looking amoeba looking zone with a very obvious gap that appeased the Crossfield parents and Meren wanting to keep Fox Mill at SLHS. It was a visual demonstration of the stupidity of the process.

Either Crossfield or Fox Mill needs to be at Western. Both make sense but space says it needs to be one or the other. [/quote]

The new options will be a lot worse.

The draft options, as much as they were criticized, are at least reasonable in terms of geography.  In fact, the FCPS webpage states that the draft options “were preliminary concepts intended to explore a [i]geographically [/i]based boundary.”

The new options may not even make geographical sense. For example, they might propose a bunch of islands based on the opt-in numbers.

Nothing will surprise me anymore.
