When do we see the maps for who attends this school?  [/quote]

No idea, I think they have to determine exactly how they're going to set it up programmatically first between magnet, neighborhood school, some hybrid combo, or whatever other option before they start drawing maps. Probably couldn't start that work in earnest until the sale went through. Not sure how that timeline will align with the countywide boundary review either.[/quote]

I think there is a policy/process about setting boundaries for a new school.  I would assume the priority is to relieve overcrowded schools, which, in this case would be Chantilly and Westfield.  I would also think there would be some movement to get area kids out of Oakton as it is a very long way and there will be new construction in that area.[/quote]

Westfield is not overcrowded.  [/quote]

The school is at 2700 plus and the rising classes are all very large.  There is also a lot of new construction in the Westfield area.  It needs relief, too.  Some of the support areas (cafeteria, gym, etc) are not that large.[/quote]

The freshman class at Westfield last fall was about the same size as other classes.

It’s big by design and has extra capacity.  Some of you don’t want to send your kids there, but if all these Westfield kids get moved to KAA they’ll have to move Centreville kids there. [/quote]
