[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rocky Run is right next to Chantilly. Kids zoned to RR should all go to Chantilly (And I think now they do, except for the AAP kids).[/quote]

They should but now Navy Oakton kids are getting rezoned there because Franklin MS is suddenly getting an elementary school that hasn’t been there in years and has priority apparently when they could just stay at Carson. Proximity doesn’t matter to these folks (they’re willing to commute all the way out to Oakton) so explain to me why should they all get moved over to Franklin while Navy kids will be split to different middle schools?[/quote]

Really.  I agree that there is difficulty with avoiding a split feeder.  If Crossfield stays at Carson, then Oak Hill will stay at Franklin.  Oak Hill is pretty certain to go to Skyview.

Honestly, Oak Hill and Crossfield should be at Carson/Skyview.  Put Fox Mill at Hughes when AAP centers are in every middle school.

I would set Skyview boundary.  Adjust Westfield on the edges and leave it be for a year or two.  Then, work on the middle schools, if needed.

Franklin has been a split feeder forever--at least thirty years--maybe more.  It's not optimum, but it is only two years.[/quote]

Hughes is already a Center and there is no space for Fox Mill. Fox Mill should be at Skyview. There are Fox Mill kids within a mile of Skyview. We share a boundary with Floris and go to Oak Hill for AAP. Carson is right next door and we attend Carson. And most of us want to attend Skyview.

Let Crossfield stay at Oakton since that is where they want to be. And yes, I think that there are more Crossfield families that want to stay at Oakton then want to move to Skyview. The families that want to attend Skyview can pupil place for the specialized programs. They should be able to get permission to pick up a bus int he Fox Mill area or one of the other close by spots.

It would be one thing if they just wanted to stay at Crossfield. But then they also advocated for moving to Franklin MS which set off a ripple effect for many other schools. Shame on them.[/quote]
