[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most importantly, rather than squabbling back and forth about who is right or wrong, how can we best advocate? For example, I’m in the small section of Oak Hill that just got cut off from the rest. We live in Franklin Farm and in Scenario 2, we no longer go to middle school or high school with anyone else from Oak Hill. They froze us because of our distance to Franklin and redistricted the rest of Oak Hill to Carson and Skyview. What legs do we have to stand on to try to get moved with the rest of our friends if we’re in the frozen area? None of us mind Franklin or Chantilly; we just want to remain together. How do we best advocate for that?[/quote]

There's a Franklin Farm community guide circulating on this issue, with background, maps, and suggested comment language for the boundary tool, before the June 9 deadline. [/url]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M0YRFvcrqJGlvu0g4dS2GzWpeUhQYqNNBmJxHEemib8[url][/quote]

What do they want?[/quote]

[b]Keeping the Oak Hill section of Franklin Farm together (western Franklin Farm) through MS and HS.[/b] Scenario 2 has them split the HOA in half (per the comments above). Move the boundary line to Lees Corner Rd/Thompson Rd. to keep those neighbors together in their HOA.[/quote]

Just curious, are they together now?

Everyone wants a cohesive pyramid for their kids, but its not doable for everyone. [/quote]

Oak Hill ES all go to the same Ms and HS now, accept for the kids who choose Carson for AAP. The latest scenarios are the first time the school was split up on any scenario. [/quote]

This is what happened with Crossfield as well. A handful of small neighborhoods who are currently Crossfield/Carson/Oakton communities were intentionally plucked away in scenario 2 and rezoned to Skyview. Similar to what is happening with Oak Hill/Franklin Farm, it’s nonsensical that FCPS would cherry pick a small segment of a current ES community and rezone them. [/quote]

They did that with a section of Brookfield and a section of Bull Run for the various scenarios. Its not nonsensical. Someone has to get moved. There are many non-cohesive FCPS pyramids.[/quote]

So, easy answer.  Keep Chantilly Mews at Chantilly and let western Franklin Farm go to Skyview with their Oak Hill friends.  Done.[/quote]
