[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you wish for and what you get in FCPS are not always the same thing. If there was a clear commitment to opening KAA as a neighborhood school FCPS would have stated unequivocally that it will reopen as a local high school in the fall of 2026 and that the ongoing boundary study will address the boundaries for the new school.  That didn’t occur; to the contrary, Reid told people the KAA purchase wouldn’t have any impact on the boundary study.

Maybe at some point they’ll have a clear plan and make more definitive statements - just as they eventually did with respect to grandfathering students affected by the current boundary review.  But in that case they will just be doing on a delayed basis what others from Great Falls and elsewhere have been asking them to do:  provide clearer answers to how this new property fits within FCPS’s larger portfolio of schools, etc.  [/quote]

It is possible that most of the ES that will be impacted by the KAA purchase are not seeing much change during the boundary study. Coates would be the ES that could be most effected, Coates goes to Carson and is next door to KAA. Outside of that, Fox Mill might pull in some new students from Oak Hill. Floris doesn't seem to be effected by the boundary change. McNair doesn't seem to be effected by the boundary change. Three of the four ES that feed into Carson and might be moved to the KAA building are not greatly impacted by the boundary change.

I know that there has been some talk about Crossfield being moved to KAA but I don't think Crossfield is massively impacted by the boundary change.

Chantilly and Centerville are the 2 HS in the area that need relief but neither are feed by schools that are closest to KAA. I think the conversation has been shifting kids from Chantilly and Centerville into Westfield as Westfield kids are moved to KAA.

But I have not memorized all the map changes. I do think that KAA should 100% be included in this process. It has a direct impact on one of the most crowded areas and the most overcrowded ES in the area.
