[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]

What makes sense to you doesn't matter.

It's more about which community lobbies harder and what makes sense to the board, which is almost always listening to the loudest voice.[/quote]
