[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BRAC meeting notes are up. They don't include anything involving maps:

So they want to increase the commuting time and distance for the McLean students who’d be moved (over 200 students)?  So much for transportation efficiency.

[/quote]

It demonstrates why they should have funded an addition to McLean years ago. They can keep kicking kids out, but the kids then have longer commutes to other schools.

Unfortunately FCPS can’t plan for shit.  [/quote]
Their commutes still aren't as long as most of the kids on the far west end of the county.  Some kids are making long drives to Westfield, Oakton, and Langley.[/quote]

That's ironic, since there's a large contingent saying KAA needs to be a neighborhood school to reduce the commutes of kids to Westfield and Oakton.  The Langley families with longer commutes take that on voluntarily and kids aren't being moved out of Langley every 4-5 years. [/quote]

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why Langley people are fine with that longer commute…

KAA is interesting because I think you have people zoned for Westfield and maybe South Lakes who would rather be moved to KAA, people zoned for Chantilly who are probably neutral, and people zoned for Oakton who are split between not wanting to move due to a perceived decline in quality and wanting to move  so their kids can go to a smaller and closer HS. [/quote]

But, THRU wants to move Chantilly kids to Oakton and split a neighborhood.  
I think most Chantilly people would be happy to stay there if they had that stability to stay there.  That appears iffy.
I think Oakton is likely tired of the commute--but I'm not sure all feel that way.  
I'm thinking those at Westfield don't like the commute to Westfield and it is separated from the rest of the school population.
I think it unlikely that any Fox Mill/South Lakes students would be sent to KAA.  They are midway between KAA and South Lakes.  I do think most would prefer AP to IB, though.[/quote]

We are zoned for Fox Mill and my house is 1.1 miles door-to-door to KAA. We are just under 5 miles to South Lakes. KAA would certainly be more convenient if my kids ever needed to walk, but I agree that we will not be rezoned from South Lakes.[/quote]
