[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not want to go to Western, we are just concerned we will be pushed to Westfield after 5 years as Chantilly is over capacity. [/quote]

Is anyone else concerned that once Innovation ES is built and filled up, Crossfield or Fox Mill will get pushed out of Western? Innovation will almost certainly be zoned to Western.[/quote]

Does that mean Oak Hill could be zoned back to Chantilly in 5 years? [/quote]

By the logic of the group here, if Fox Mill or Crossfield go to Western they would be rezoned first as they are the furthest away. [/quote]

With the new ES being the closest to Western, it will be zoned to Western for sure.

I wonder who will be rezoned first; Crossfield or Fox Mill?

Pro Western Crossfield will need to battle with pro Western Fox Mill to fight to stay at Western.

I hope by then, pro Western Crossfield young kids are already in Western, they will care less about other people's younger kids then. [/quote]

Crossfield is ALWAYS the problem.

Crossfield is the farthest to Western among all the ES under consideration. It cost too much taxpayers' money to bus crossfield to Western.

Crossfield leaves. Problem resolved. [/quote]

But most of the Crossfield neighborhoods are very close to Western.  And, they are a very, very long way from Oakton.  And, the school is also much closer to Western than to Oakton.  Though, South Lakes may be closer than Western.[/quote]

Are you proposing rezoning Fox Mill first because it is further from the Western between these two?

Are we taking about Western here or SLHS and Oakton?[/quote]

I am proposing Option A plus all of Floris.

It makes the most sense because it solves the most problems.   South Lakes would be underenrolled if they moved Fox Mill out.  And, the commute to Oakton from Crossfield neighborhoods is egregious.[/quote]

I would also eliminate IB from South Lakes which would make many Fox Mill families happy.[/quote]

My prediction is that more families pupil place out fo SLHS for AP at Western dropping the numbers at SLHS anyway. This is even more likely if Fox Mill stays at Carson because parents will have an additional incentive to pupil place, their kids MS friends. SLHS already has between 100-130 kids pupil place to Langley, Oakton, Westfield, and Herndon for AP (Herndon) or AP and Language (Langley, Oakton, Westfield). Western will be closer so Herndon is no longer the default plain AP option and has the pathways. Toss in friends from MS and probably being able to get a bus exemption to ride on a bus from Floris, which are close by, and you have the perfect storm. Basically, SLHS is going to lose a decent amount of Fox Mill families any way. Just move Fox Mill or get rid of IB. [/quote]
