[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, with this school, they won't need for Centreville to have 3000.  There is that.

Use some of the funds for that to make this school workable--and it will not be the $200 million someone suggested.

FACT: this school is needed for the population around it.

[b]NO one has offered a reasonable alternative for Chantilly or Westfield. [/b] This is it.  And, it is adaptable to meet the needs of a traditional school.  It will still be far more economical than building a new school.  It is a bargain.[/quote]

Move Chantilly kids to Westfield and Westfield kids to Herndon.  Would have saved money.

Alternatives are not only "reasonable" when they put your kids within a couple of miles of a HS.  That's your new religion.

You can keep repeating this is a bargain, but it's telling they won't say how many kids this building can handle, or how much additional money they'd have to spend for it to handle even 1600 kids.  [/quote]

It is not good for kids to go a very long way on the bus for a couple of hours a day.  I know there is a community that is in love with that idea, but most are not.
Westfield is already too far for most of those kids and Herndon is farther.

[b]You seem very willing to move other people's children.[/b][/quote]

Your entire post was premised on moving kids out of Chantilly and Westfield.

And kids from other schools will get moved if KAA opens as a traditional school, including to schools other than KAA.

Remember what they say about people in glass houses...

Actually, Westfield will be fine. And, people keep denying it, but there si LOTS of new construction around Westfield.  They definitely will be needing relief soon unless kids move out.  And, they will not end up being a "small" school.

And, "they" say that Centreville needs relief.  If needed, they could move one elementary school to Westfield.
