I don't know where all the pyramid members are from. However, doing a quick google of the pyramid reps from Chantilly, Westfield, South Lakes, and Oakton (all have elementary schools in KAA area) I can find no representative who lives in the KAA area. South Lakes appears to be repped by Reston residents. Chantilly reps appear to live between Chantilly and Centreville. One Westfield rep appears to live in Centreville. One Oakton rep appears to live in Blake Lane area.
This is just a casual google search of the names. And, it may not be accurate. It is certainly not comprehensive. But, this illustrates why the KAA site is so important to this area. This area appears to have no representation on BRAC.
And, the people most vocal complaining about KAA are all from the current Langley area. Why do they care so much?
And, no. It does not need to be a magnet school. It needs to be a "regular" high school that accommodates the local area.
Absolutely - once again, people in Oak Hill and southern Herndon are getting ignored by the school board, and because Langley parents who live nowhere near us seem to think their children deserve a TJ that is closer to their house, we're probably not going to get our high school. Who are these people and why do they hate us?
Why are you getting so worked up and seeing Langley parents behind every corner.
I think a PP brought up the letter from this obscure "Fairfax County Federation of Citizens Associations" again because they wanted to flag the fact that FCPS and Thru Consulting still don't seem to dealing with how the KAA purchase might affect school boundaries. But I don't think that person necessarily lives in the Langley pyramid (they seem particularly interested in issues affecting Marshall) or necessarily shares the views expressed in that FCFCA letter. Rather they just seem to be another poster confused by what the hell FCPS thinks it's doing with this ongoing boundary review.
Oh, please. Go read the FairFacts Matters on the purchase of KAA. Where do most of the FairFacts Matters members come from?

This is pure bullshit. We NEED a high school in western Fairfax. The board stated this is going to happen. The rich parents of Langley are insane - there's not demand for 2000 more seats in a STEM-focused school. We don't need another TJ, we have one. What we need is a school were my kids won't be on a bus on the highway for 45 minutes just to get to high school.
DP. Of course there's a demand for additional seats at a STEM-focused magnet. TJ turns away far more students than it admits, and many of those turned away are from Western Fairfax and Loudoun.
Whether KAA should be used for that purpose or for a neighborhood high school, as multiple School Board members suggested earlier this year, is a different question. But if there were an additional STEM magnet, or a humanities magnet for that matter, the demand would absolutely be there.
And, leave the area that needs the high school empty handed once more.
I don't think this area has any BRAC reps.

DP. Yeah, fcfca isn’t a Langley-group. This seems like the Langley-hater at it again.
Bets about whether she’s on the region 5 BRAC?

If that were to happen, you'd have plenty of company. It's not like FCPS hasn't been screwing over other areas for many years.
It seems like the most likely scenario is that KAA will be used as a neighborhood high school but people justifiabily are mystified by Reid's assertions that the acquisition won't have any impact on the boundary review. If it's going to be a neighborhood school, by definition it's going to require boundary adjustments before the school opens.

THIS! As a resident in the Herndon/Chantilly area I'm pretty sure there is nothing more impactful to Region 5 boundaries than the KAA acquisition. The fact that the board and Reid aren't even remotely addressing this is shocking.
Perhaps the Fairfax Citizens Assoc crew and any related BRAC reps will remove KAA as a base school. IDK. https://www.fairfaxfederation.org/_files/ugd/8bf868_d128de909f284981a476bef5d4429396.pdf
What shocks me is that any and all BRAC reps whether pyramid or special interest are not complaining about meeing/discussion/information for Marshall in Region 5. The FCPS creation of the Marshall Pyramid Island, largest in FCPS.
The 8/5/25 slide show on transfers appears to be a placeholder meeting simply reformatting stuff from 2/21/25 program listing and 3/26/25 [splits, MS 6-8, transfers]. https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/20250221_SuperintendentBoundaryReviewAdvisoryCommitteePresentation.pdf

I don't know where all the pyramid members are from. However, doing a quick google of the pyramid reps from Chantilly, Westfield, South Lakes, and Oakton (all have elementary schools in KAA area) I can find no representative who lives in the KAA area. South Lakes appears to be repped by Reston residents. Chantilly reps appear to live between Chantilly and Centreville. One Westfield rep appears to live in Centreville. One Oakton rep appears to live in Blake Lane area.
This is just a casual google search of the names. And, it may not be accurate. It is certainly not comprehensive. But, this illustrates why the KAA site is so important to this area. This area appears to have no representation on BRAC.
And, the people most vocal complaining about KAA are all from the current Langley area. Why do they care so much?
And, no. It does not need to be a magnet school. It needs to be a "regular" high school that accommodates the local area.

Region 5 should want to talk about KAA boundaries first.
