[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish they would be transparent on enrollment - they want it to be a magnet school - that is clear - but the hocus pocus on transportation I think kept people away. Even TJ busses from out here.   We opted in and I’m excited for my kid- I think it will be great but li do regret the chaos led some of his friends to stay at base schools (or sports).  What will be weird is if this becomes an Oak Hill ES plus opt in situation which feels possible at this point.  They will have a few OH kids who had no intention of being at a stem magnet - could get weird. Many kids at OH are into this sort of magnet program anyway so 80 percent will be ok with it.  [b]I actually think our home values will go up if we are zoned as in boundary [/b] for an AI/Robotics/Engineering school. [b]Way up actually[/b]. Do not waste your time typing that this is not a magnet school, I understand your view, I have another. [/quote]

I would be very upset if not many Chantilly kids opted in. Western was bought to help with the overcrowding of Chantilly, not to help under-enrolled schools like South Lakes, so they can increase their house value by being in boundary.

Plenty of people at Chantilly want the school to have fewer students but no one wants to move, they want other people to move. Sound familiar? I would be surprised if too many kids from Chantilly opted in but I would guess that there are some. It would be nice if they released how many kids opted in and from what school.[/quote]

Yeah, it sounds a lot like West Springfield, but they didn’t drop $200 million on a new school a few miles away from WSHS.  At this point they should be thrown in jail if they don’t adopt boundaries that at a minimum move all of Oak Hill to Western.  [/quote]

Sure, but it sounds like they want it to be Oak Hill and the rest a magnet.  Oak Hill families don't want that.   Reid just does not get it.
Option A was clearly the right model. [/quote]
