[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, no one can know yet what they'll do.  They will release a revised proposal or proposals, and then they'll make a decision based on (1) who yells the loudest and (2) what individual School Board members want.

Logic would suggest that Coates, Floris, McNair, and Oak Hill are shoe-ins to be assigned to Western/Skyview.  As between Fox Mill and Crossfield, who knows. Fox Mill is closer, but Meren seems to want to protect South Lakes. Crossfield has the longer commute currently to Oakton, but the RIO folks who want to stay there are more vocal than anyone else potentially redistricted.  And then you have the wild card of Reid possibly wanting to leave a lot of open seats at Western/Skyview so students from other areas can take the special "pathways" courses.

Fox Mill and Crossfield are both quite close to Western.  However, Fox Mill is also close to South Lakes which is its current school.  It is pretty much halfway--close to both.
Crossfield, on the other hand, is quite far from Oakton which is its current school.

Crossfield makes more sense.[/quote]

Because you want to move to Western. Fox Mill families want to move to Western as well. They want their kids to go to the same school as the kids who they went to MS with. They want the AP programs. They didn’t want to move from Oakton 20 years ago and were ignored then. They have been asking for AP classes, like Robertson has, and have been ignored. As you said, Western is closer for Fox Mill and there are families that are vocally supportive of the move.

The school board will make it’s choice. Fox Mill will end up with kids at Western either by being moved or by pupil placing. There are already a good number of kids who pupil place for AP out of SLHS from Fox Mill, expect that number to go up. Western will be the AP school closest to Fox Mill so guess were they land.

Speaking of Fox Mill, did anyone attend the Meren meeting tonight? [/quote]
