[quote=Anonymous][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.

Once more,  there are no BRAC reps from the area that would likely be covered by the area that would attend KAA.

The only Chantilly neighborhood in consideration would likley be happy with a move if it is a traditional high school.  They would likely be happy to stay at Chantilly, but THRU has proposed moving some to Oakton which is quite a hike and most would not want that.

But, once more, there are no reps on BRAC from the KAA area.  Don't you think they should have a say?

And, I would suggest that those who think that area going to Westfield is good to come take a drive from Carson to Westfield and tell us if you think the area is part of the Westfield community.  And, Carson is closer to Westfield than most of the neighborhoods than most of its students.  You will pass by the airport and through industrial and commercial areas.  You will not pass any residential areas.  The Carson kids are isolated from the rest of Westfield.[/quote]
