[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears from the summary of BRAC feedback that the Region 5 representatives on the BRAC have recommended that a decision be made on the future use of KAA before any boundary changes are made that would affect Region 5, including Chantilly.  It further appears that the BRAC representatives for that region are advocating for KAA to be a magnet rather than a neighborhood high school.

See the "new" priority identified on p. 9 of the document.  [/quote]

They just don't want their kids moved out of Chantilly to KAA. That's it. F* them. We deserve a school.[/quote]
Based on where the BRAC members reside, they’re either (a) recommending a magnet because they want in on the new school too or (b) are cognizant of the fact a neighborhood school would drastically impact enrollment numbers at Westfield creating a large shift in programming and/or boundary adjustments south of 50.

IE Chantilly doesn’t want to move to Westfield and Westfield doesn’t want to risk losing half their student body. [/quote]

Chantilly families might not want to move to KAA, either.

None of that is surprising.  They were never going to suddenly spring for a new school that wasn’t even planned in the CIP for another decade without controversy.

Region 5 doesn’t even include Centreville, and there are also CVHS families who’ll oppose getting moved to Westfield as part of boundary shifts if KAA opens as a regular school.
