For example, it's going to be a useful data point in deciding moving crossfield or foxmil.  That data won't affect Oakhill.
[quote=Anonymous]The boundary decisions are not being made solely on opt-in numbers. That's DCUM speculation. [/quote][/quote]

Gee.  Why didn't they do the boundary study based on those who want to Opt-in to any school?

I do not understand this process at all.

Reid is clueless.

[/quote]

With how few changes they made in the grand scheme it sort of feels like that’s what they did. [/quote]

I'd be very surprised if Meren supports South Lakes losing Fox Mill.  [/quote]

Meren doesn’t know the difference between Fox Mill and Fox Mill Woods.

I’d love to lose Meren. [/quote]

If Reid’s proposal sends Fox Mill to Skyview the other board members will pass it. [/quote]
Crossfield to Skyview makes so much more sense that I don't think even one board member would object if that were Reid's proposal.[/quote]

What I find crazy is how Navy families are so involved in this. They are worried that if Crossfield is moved to a closer school, that they will be moved to Fairfax, which is closer to them. [/quote]

And Waples Mill is also closer to Fairfax.  If you look at that petition floating around you’ll see there is heavy support from both  them and Navy probably for the reason you’ve suggested [/quote]

I am a Navy parent, I know for a fact this is true.[/quote][b]Navy wants to go to fairfax. [/b]

Well say for example FCPS zones part of brookfield out of Chantilly, they would have some room for Navy as the Modular unit would still provide that.[/quote]
Absolutely not.[/quote]

Speak for yourself. I am a Navy parent who would much prefer Chantilly to Oakton.[/quote]
The absolutely not was in response to someone saying that Navy families want to go to Fairfax High School. [/quote]

So Navy families are only happy with Oakton and Chantilly? [/quote]

I can't speak for all Navy parents, but both Oakton and Fairfax are kind of a hike from my house. Chantilly much closer. I guess if my kids have to do a longer commute to a high school, might as well be the best school possible. But would still prefer proximity... Chantilly or Skyview.[/quote]

Do you think you’d see less pushback from Navy parents if they were in Crossfield’s position in regards to possibly being rezoned to Skyview? [/quote]

Unlike certain Crossfield people I will not claim to speak for the entire Navy community. But the people I have talked to do not feel super strongly one way or the other. The ones who live in 20171 seem to be open to moving because they like the idea of a closer school. The ones who live in 22033 don’t seem to have thought about it too much because they assume it won’t affect them. I suspect some of them would push back on it because they feel more connected to Oakton, especially if they live close to Waples Mill ES. I think those people have a much better “rooted in Oakton” argument than Crazy Sports Mom and her Crossfield crew. [/quote]

I’m a Crossfield parent who has advocated to move to Skyview but I do have to say this response seems disingenuous. Why would a Navy parent feel so strongly about particular personalities at Crossfield? I think PP was asking a genuine question. So much of this thread appears to be Crossfield on both sides posing as other posters. It makes me wonder if we should just rename this thread Crossfield and Fox Mill in or out of Boundary? [/quote]

I agree that the person you were responding to is definitely a Crossfield parent pretending to be a Navy parent because how would they know specifics about one particular person? Who is Crazy Sports Mom and is she the PTO president people keep talking about?[/quote]

You all seem pretty dense. You realize a bunch of Crossfield and Navy people know each other through outside activities and sports, right? There is no need for someone to pretend to be a Navy parent. Such a weird accusation.[/quote]

We all know who you are, crazy sports moms.[/quote]
