[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we will welcome you with open arms at Chantilly. It's a very tight knit community and the boundaries are compact, so kids often spend alot of time with their peers. We have a fantastic administration as well. No matter the type of kid you have they WILL find a niche at the school, just due to the sheer amount of student groups. [/quote]

When people say Chantilly is over-crowded does that mean kids are in portable classrooms, and what are the plans to address the over-crowding?  I saw someone mentioning expanding Centreville.  Does that mean Chantilly kids will be forced to attend Centreville?  I am looking for housing in the Chantilly area (going through a divorce).  Thanks![/quote]

Yes, the most likely scenario is that once Centreville is renovated and expanded to 3000 seats several hundred Chantilly kids will get moved.  They could either get moved directly to Centreville or they could get moved to Westfield with part of Westfield moved to Centreville. [b] There are no plans to renovate or expand Chantilly any time soon[/b].  [/quote]

Our school community will do everything that is possible to make sure we are on the 2024 or 2025 bond. We are willing to go to great legnths to fight for the renovation. We cant let a renovation queue and staff dictate this anymore[/quote]

What might be feasible is to push the School Board to get staff to issue a new renovation queue sooner rather than later.  The instinct of staff is no need to rush because it's going to take years to finish renovating schools on the queue developed in 2008.  But if they could put out a new queue it would at least give people comfort that FCPS isn't completely unconcerned about the schools that need renovation or expansion, and that something will happen eventually.

What's not going to happen is Chantilly getting on a bond in 2025 (there won't be a school bond this fall) for a renovation, much less getting a full renovation.  Kids from Chantilly will get moved to Centreville first.  [/quote]

We were last renovated in 88. We almost had our roof collapse the week before school started. Newer schools have no business getting renovated before. And a centreville chantilly boundary change isnt as realistic as those who dont live in that area suggest( the parts of chantilly closer to centreville do not have that many students)[/quote]

Sorry lady, if kids in Herndon are being bussed to Oakton, kids in Chantilly can surely be sent to Centerville.  Your wish is not going to happen.[/quote]

Lmao im a student but okay. Do you even know what tilly's boundaries look like? Draw the part of the attendance zone on the map you think will be rezoned to centreville and how many students you think live there. btw, nobody thinks oakton's boundaries are ok or should be permanent. [/quote]

DP.  So you're a kid.  That might explain why you think your needs come first or you'll always get your way.  Sadly, FCPS isn't mommy or daddy. [/quote]

Yep, our building is definetely sustainable until the 2030s. Why dont you come out here and take a look yourself? The only 4 high schools that should be renovated before us are mclean, lewis, hayfield, and mt vernon. If you think its selfish to have a building that isnt falling apart, then so be it. [/quote]

CHS isn't falling apart. It has needs, but it's not falling apart. Don't be so histrionic. [/quote]
