[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ding ding ding! The only way a western fairfax school is being built is if the communities across FCPS agree that a massive redistricting is also acceptable. That isn't happening. Hence the expansions in capacity. We brought the issue onto ourselves. If we waited smaller schools we would be okay with boundaries moving. But parents are not.

This is actually strangely logical. And yes, I will be voting yes as wel. [/quote]

It's a fiction to claim a new high school requires a massive redistricting across the entire county.  Doesn't happen.  Conversely, the last time there was a county-wide redistricting (about 30 years ago) there was no new high school being opened.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  The people who want smaller schools vote with their feet by moving to Loudoun.  Schools like Stone Bridge and Briar Woods have better reputations now than Herndon and Westfield.  If/when they also start outperforming Chantilly, attitudes may change. [/quote]
