It was supposedly one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, for spending all this money to buy KAA. [/quote]

I think it is pretty much a given that Oak Hill Elem will move.  Option A is the logical solution.  It solves problems.[/quote]

I hope Oak Hill ES does get zoned to the new school. That would be our neighborhood school, and I'd be thrilled if my younger kids could go to the new school instead of Chantilly. [/quote]

What’s wrong with Chantilly? We are zoned for Oakton and I wish mine could go to Chantilly instead![/quote]

We love Chantilly. Would be happy staying there, but one proposal split neighborhood to go to Oakton.  Drive to Oakton is way too far and would split our neighborhood.  Can you imagine driving back roads in this weather?  Chantilly is overcrowded. Westfield is overcrowded and so is Oakton now.[/quote]

Yeah this is why we'd rather go to Chantilly. My kid actually wants to go to the new school, but our community has been vocally opposing it so they probably won't get to go unless there is room for transfers or unless they extend the opt in to multiple years. [/quote]

Be vocal!! I talk to a lot of Crossfield parents and most of them want to go to the new school but for some reason are too scared of the PTO to create their own organization and do their own lobbying. Why is that? [/quote]

Lack of motivation, organization and not nearly enough interest.[/quote]

This sounds like a RIO ringleader patting themselves on the back for being oh so organized. Typical superiority complex.

You know those girls in high school who no one liked but they seemingly had a lot of friends because people were afraid to get on their bad side? It's like that. You can say all you want that people should get over that, but human social dynamics are what they are.[/quote]

It's super low effort to do a change.org petition, but if you can't even do that. There's no way you're going to get the outcome you want.

If the new school is as popular as you say hundreds will sign it. Put your money where your mouth is bro.[/quote]

I don't understand people who sign a change.org petition. Those don't do anything, nobody looks at them, the names could be fake for all I know.[/quote]

School board members repeatedly brought up Change.org petitions during the boundary review particularly in regards to Flint ES. Creating a petition would absolutely help Crossfield families looking to rezone to Western. [/quote]
