[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who can read a map can tell that almost all the Chantilly HS zoned elementary neighborhoods are much closer in distance to Westfield than any of the areas currently zoned to Centreville. Westfield HS is in Chantilly.

If FCPS is prioritizing distance in miles to fill seats, Chantilly areas should be moved over to Westfield and Oakton areas should be shifted west to Chantilly and Skyview.

Of course, they have 17 different priorities that they won't rank in any sort of order, so we have no idea what their "real priorities" are.

Reassigning anything at Chantilly to Westfield that isn’t already a split feeder results in disjointed boundaries.  We really need to move part of Centreville to Westfield and then scale back this ridiculous expansion of Centreville to free up funds for other school renovations or expansions.

Forget about reading a map, no one with a functioning brain thinks we should be building Centreville out to 3000 seats.  It would just be the height of insanity and waste of taxpayer money. [/quote]

What's more important, distance in miles to the school building or the shape of the boundary? Who cares if the boundaries are "disjointed" if the closest areas are sent to the closest buildings?

Oh wait, is this the Chantilly mom who thinks high schoolers need to be able to continuously walk through an entire high school's boundaries? She's a hoot. I hope she posts more of her crazy ideas.[/quote]

The shape of the boundary can tell you quite a bit about whether a school will have a strong sense of community.  Reassigning a small pocket of Chantilly north of 50 to Westfield doesn’t make a lot of sense when there’s an effort underway to move Westfield neighborhoods north of 50 to Skyview and one of the stated goals is to reduce overcrowding at Centreville.

An entire elementary school boundary is not a small pocket. [/quote]

It's a relatively small area and would be close to an attendance island but for a small contiguous area.  No one could look at this and say it's the product of a sound boundary review.   [/quote]

A lot of posters on here thought it made sense, and the consultants put it in on several different options, so..... [/quote]

It was the closest in distance full elementary school zone to Westfield not actually zoned to Westfield, so of course it made sense. You don't like it, but you certainly can understand how it makes logical sense.[/quote]

YUP. Stop making a fool of yourself, lees corner lady. You got your promise from the wimpy SB member, but many of us thought it made perfect sense to send your school over to Westfield. Shrug. [/quote]

I'm not a Lees Corner parent, but the two of you sound ridiculous, and it is very clear to the rest of us that you're upset because if Lees Corner doesn't get rezoned to Westfield, your local elementary school might be the one that goes there. As many people have said over and over again, you can advocate for your own children without dumping on other families. I'm CONFIDENT that if you lived in the Lees Corner area, you would advocating for your children to stay zoned to Chantilly, too. You need to stop embarrassing yourselves. *

*I'm also not convinced that you're not just one person sock puppeting, but even if there are multiples of you, just stick to advocating for your own kids and leave the Lees Corner families alone. The only people making fools of themselves are you with your jealousy and hatred.

DP. +100 it’s probably an RIO mom trying to take the heat off of Crossfield by rabidly focusing on Lees Corner. Speaking of which, did anyone think to leave comments throwing RIO under the bus?[/quote]
