[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So seed a new HS with kids from Herndon, Westfield and South Lakes. Move part of Centreville to Westfield, part of Chantilly to Centreville, part of Oakton to South Lakes, and part of Langley to Herndon.[/quote]

So,  you want to play fruitbasket turnover?   Move lots of kids unnecessarily when they are currently fine where they are?

FCPS should build the new school at the first available location where sufficient land can be assembled, adjust the boundaries as needed, and tell people like you that you can leave if you can’t deal with it.  They identified the need for an additional high school years ago. [/quote]

That is a terrible location for a high school for any kids and for the community.  The traffic patterns are terrible and almost all the students would still be coming from the other side of the toll road.  But, it is clear why you want it.  You revealed it in your plan.  Why would you build a new school for kids to relieve schools that don't need relief and disrupt them.  Any time there is a change there is disruption.  This would disrupt twice as many people for no good reason.  And, unlike fruitbasket turnover, this is not a game.[/quote]

All I did was explain how a new HS, even if built near Hutchison, could ultimately provide relief to the most crowded high schools in western Fairfax - Chantilly and Centreville.  It requires moving more kids to even out the enrollments than if they’d built a school at a different site that is apparently no longer available, but it wouldn’t be the first time that happened.

Sadly, I can’t force the Saudis to return the land near Carson but then neither can you. It doesn’t mean that a school that’s been on two bonds, including the 2021 bond, should be dropped. [/quote]
