I don't think the Westfield parents expected so many areas to get special treatment and were probably surprised there was so much angst from Bull Run about moving.

Look, I don't like either of them either, but I see your true colors here you racist, xenophobic, homophobic pig.

I think Seema's a selfish self-serving idiot, who never replied to my emails, but what's with the racism? Yikes.

No versions before the last scenario had so few kids at Westfield. Westfield families assumed it would be either LC kids or BR kids.

Lees Corner never made any sense at all. I cannot speak to Bull Run, but it is already a split feeder and parts are pretty much equal distance to Westfield or Centreville. Much of the area is not close to either school. But, it shares contiguous boundaries with other Westfield schools.
They could make Westfield into a true community. Lee's Corner would not in any way be part of Westfield community.

Whether it made sense or not. There were multiple scenarios sending LC kids to Westfield. Reasonable for the Westfield families to expect either Bull Run, Lees Corner, or some combination. The last two scenarios were the first in the comperhensive plan or skyview many rounds of plans that moved Chantilly Mews and just one apartment building from Bull Run and left Westfield so empty.

Given how Reid operates, they'll spend shit tons of money expanding elementary schools in Herndon and then building a new Silver Line ES only for Reid to then get up on a soapbox again about making every middle school 6-8.

I hope she's gone before she can do that. It's unnecessary. Elementary schools in western fairfax are all well under capacity and getting smaller. Our ES only has two classes for K-3 this year.

Because there is really nothing new in the final scenario.

The only change I see that is completely new is kicking the poor Brookfield kids out of Frankin.

I would have expected them to move the Brookfield kids eventually to make space for when the AAP kids come back to Franklin, however aren't they closer to Rocky Run, where there will be a TON of capacity when the AAP center is eliminated? I can't believe they didn't take that piece into account. They are supposed to be eliminating AAP centers over the next five years, that will drastically change the capacity at area middle schools.

But, most important: Centreville needed relief. Or, at least that is what we were told.

The enrollment number under the final scenario:

Centreville: 2,119
Westfield: 2,083
South Lakes: 2,033
Skyview: 1780

They are losing 800 students and what, 25% at least of their staff? These other schools are used to around those numbers, there won't be a huge change for them. Those other schools also didn't have a SB member plotting basically to screw them with moving only new low income areas to their school.

I dunno.

I feel like 2,000+ is still a good number for any high school. The staff can move to Skyview.

The staff can go to Skyview, sure. Thats not the issue. Its awful for the Westfield community to lose so many teachers and staff-its the youngest teachers who get destaffed first. And losing 900 students is nuts.

This is still a school year away. Westfield will lose some to retirements and other attrition. And, there is still new construction in the Westfield area.

But the only middle school feeding to Westfield will be totally full next year. Where will all these new construction kids go?

Brookfield should be at Rocky Run. All of it.

+1

Disagree. They have to send somebody to Westfield and those are the closest people (minus Walney Oaks who I believe should have been sent as well). In that case, I'd rather prioritize keeping MS-HS aligned rather than ES-MS.

Bull Run is already a split feeder. They could have sent all those around Bull Run and the Westfield cut out--northwest of 66. That would have made sense. Chantilly kids who live in walking distance of Chantilly makes no sense.

Westfield community didn’t get involved because until round 2 of the Skyview boundary revisions they were still projected to have 2400-2500 students in all scenarios and no remaining Westfield homes were being changed. Then the next round dropped and they all put Westfield at 2050 students. OUT OF NOWHERE. By then it was too late as the end of school year madness was upon us. FCPS pulled rug out from under Westfield. Complete bullshit.

It never made sense to have any Brookfield kids at Franklin. They always should have been at Rocky Run. That side of Route 50 should've always been Rocky Run.
