[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's pretty settled that Reid is creating the boundaries based on who did and did not opt in, right? This is her way of choosing the boundaries without controversy.[/quote]

How is that going to work if it’s pockets of kids from a bunch of different areas? I know the website says some BS about geographically based boundaries as though there is an alternative. They have to provide transportation once boundaries are drawn. So they’re either going to have to draw a traditional boundary or draw an extremely tiny boundary and let people opt in with zero transportation provided for those outside the tiny boundary.[/quote]

I think Oak Hill, Coates, and McNair are set. They remove kids from Chantilly and Westfield, which helps Chantilly and allows kids from Centerville to be moved to Westfield, relieving Centerville. Floris, Crossfield, and Fox Mill were named as possibilities in the initial boundary maps, that are no longer in play. Others have mentioned Navy and Lees Corner. I think those are the schools whose opt in numbers could influence who ends up at Western. Those ES are in the area and would help fill Western but at  their HS are not as crowded as Chantilly and  Centerville. [/quote]

The new school is located in the Floris district so I’ve no idea what you’re going on about here.  Some of you folks appear never to have seen a map in your life. [/quote]

I live in the area, I know where it is and where the ESs are. I am basing my thoughts based on the 4 boundary maps that were initially put out and then withdrawn. Talk to the school board because Floris was not in Western in all of the maps. [/quote]

I also live in the area.  Pretty sure that Floris WAS in all the maps.  Discovery Square, which is assigned to Floris, was left out of two of them--but that was ridiculous since it is the closest neighborhood to the new high school along with much of the Oak Hill elementary neighborhood.

They had the best boundary outline.  It was A.  It fit all the requirements.  Relieved overcrowding and proximity.  Not only that, it left Meren with South Lakes untouched (although they should take ALL the Floris kids from South Lakes.)

Anyone looking at it objectively would know that.[/quote]
