[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised they left in the Chantilly to Oakton move. At least, I assume that's the 41 kids moving 6.88 miles away. Makes no sense with KAA coming on board. [/quote]

You are right.  And, the "delta" of 12.82 minutes means that what is currently less than a ten minute drive is -at best- a thirty minute drive twice a day.  And, that is likely in a car, not on a school bus.

KAA needs to be a traditional school.  A magnet would be ridiculous.  And, KAA would likely be a five minute drive.[/quote]

I can't follow your math.  Wouldn't the delta suggest that a current 10-minute drive would become a 22 or 23-minute drive, not a "30-minute drive at best"?

They aren't factoring KAA into any of this at all.  That part of the county could have to deal with boundary changes resulting from (1) the county-wide review, (2) the opening of KAA, and (3) the downsizing of the AAP center at Carson in short order.  By the time all that gets worked out they could be talking about the next county-wide review.

If I were in charge, I would have prioritized Coates and figured out what the plans were with respect to KAA neighorhood boundaries and AAP centers before considering any other boundary changes.  If that meant delaying other changes for a few years during a period of declining FCPS enrollments, so much the better. [/quote]

Reid is clearly in over her head. I think a number of thoughtful posters on here could have managed this entire thing better-for free![/quote]

I'd add that there are a few BRAC members who also could manage this better, but they are repeatedly rebuffed when requesting information.

It's the biggest debacle I've ever seen come out of FCPS in terms of the sheer incompetence of both planning and execution.  Apart from Ryan McElveen, who seemed to grasp early on this was beyond the competence of those currently running FCPS to pull off, and perhaps Ricardy Anderson and Melanie Meren, who appear to have come around to understanding what a gigantic mess this is, every current School Board member and Reid should lose their jobs.  Certainly neither Ilryong Moon nor Rachna Sizemore-Heizer should get elected to the Board of Supervisors when they are complicit in this shit-show. [/quote]
