[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]at the BRAC meeting someone asked reid how the western high school acquisition would affect the boundary review and she said it isn’t being considered as part of the review! but that it should open fall 2026. how? how can it not be included when it seems like it will affect so many schools [/quote]

What a farce.  As between this School Board and Reid, FCPS has never been in the hands of so many deeply incompetent people.  [/quote]

Agree that they should acknowledge it.  This whole study has been a farce.  However, this does not create problems but solves them.  
Except for Western Fairfax, it should not have much impact.

It meets stated goals:

Proximity
Keeping neighborhoods together
Reduces transportation costs
Eliminates overcrowding.
 Chantilly has been cited as overcrowded and one of the schools that needs relief.  It frees up space at Westfield (which has new construction nearby) and allows it to take students from Centreville.  This, in turn, would allow a neighborhood right next to Centreville to go to Centreville instead of making the long trek to Fairfax.
It might eliminate the need for Centreville to have a large expansion when they get their new update.
This is a win for all these students.
Two of the scenarios by Thru include splitting Oak Hill between Oakton and Chantilly.  This would resolve that.

If Crossfield is included, it eliminates a very long bus ride on I66 or winding back roads.  And, it keeps Franklin Farm together.  A big development is going to be built near Oakton. This will result in overcrowding.

So, this does not have as many far reaching tentacles as some would think.  It resolves problems.  It will have little impact outside of this area which was on THRU's chopping block anyway.
