[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What ridiculous incompetence.

Literally just about anywhere else in the world, even in this country, school leaders would not waste time and they would open the dang school. Instead they want to listen to people bicker and squabble over this for another year?? What a waste.

Please. There is no solution to this that will make everyone 100% happy. Stop it with the theatrics about “community input” when it won’t matter in the end. No magnet school. do it by the numbers and eliminating split feeders, there, done. Families will adapt.[/quote]

Actually, anywhere else in the world they would’ve put more thought into the plan before buying such a large asset.[/quote]

No.  They need the school.  Westfield is full, Centreville is overcrowded, and Chantilly is bursting at the seams.[/quote]

Herndon has hundreds of empty seats and they’d already be working on the Centreville expansion if they had their act together. [/quote]

Don’t worry, great falls will soon fill those empty seats at Herndon. [/quote]

But wait.  What do you mean by Great Falls?  Are you saying the Forestville  Elementary Herndon/Reston/Vienna addresses get to stay at Langley?   
Sometimes school districts use extra capacity as swing space and an estimated 1/2 of the 1005 Westfield to Western for grades 9 and 10 could be at Herndon.   Obviously:
1.  Western can hold grades 9 and 10 for option B as a comprehensive AP HS.  That's estimated 863 or 50% of 1726.  JIP out of South Lakes for those grades. 
2.   Centreville to 3000 as proposed by FCPS could not get permits.  Robinson, next to Centreville, has a modular.  
3.  502 out of Westfield makes space for about 350 Chantilly + Centreville 9th and 10th graders.

KAA was operating as a private school so does anyone really thing the rezoning as a public facility will not pass?  Maybe that's the hang up so Plan B for partial 2026 could use Herndon as temporary swing space especially given the scheme of sending all to prior base schools for activities and sports.
3. FCPS now has a permit to use part of Western as office/administrative/security "staging" on site.    Some of Workflow Routing Slip Report and complete search shows partial blueprint of the main level to see section F which has the newly approved FCPS office at Western:
