[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you opt in to a school if you want your child to be in a traditional high school--but don't know if you will be in boundary with their friends?
On the other hand, it leaves those staying at their base school uncertain if that will be their school the following year.

This is nuts.
And, the name reflects it.

It's like a big ** to the community because they just want a traditional high school--like every other high school in Fairfax county.

Is this why she dropped "Oak Hill" as a name?  Sounds like it.

If Seema is interested in taking care of her constituents, she will not propose "Skyview," but "Oak Hill."  We are NOT the airport or the museum.  Seema lives in Centreville, maybe she is not aware.

Centreville reflects its location.  Chantilly does, as well (although technically it is in Springfield district), Herndon, South Lakes, and Westfield are all geographic names.

Only Justice and the schools named after people are not.[/quote]

It’s not just an ** to the local community.  It’s an insult to everyone in the county who was told the need for this school was so compelling due to overcrowding that they should set aside the existing CIP and continue to ignore other schools in need to purchase KAA, only to pursue an opt-in model that could leave some of the overcrowded schools overcrowded for years. With the boundary change to move part of Fairfax to Chantilly, the overcrowding at Chantilly could be even worse for quite a while - and we were fed lies about how Westfield was overcrowded when it wasn’t.

This is all because opening a new, traditional high school doesn’t get Reid excited.  The county-wide boundary study that she went around saying would be “transformational” was anything but, but by God she’s going to make Western/Skyview into the special little “pathways” school that her heart desires.  All on our dime.  [/quote]
