Centreville is not that overcrowded now (under 105%) and emptying it out would reduce the pressure to do what FCPS should have done already, which is reach an agreement with the Park Authority to renew the lease that allows for the current/planned student populations.

So you don't think anyone should be moved out of Centreville?

I would not move more than 75-100 kids out of Centreville without offsetting it with kids moved to Centreville from Chantilly.

1. Theres no need to move kids into Centreville. It's already over capacity.

2. The southernmost part of Chantilly boundary is still closer to Chantilly than Centreville in both time and distance.

3. We are not adding more split feeders.

Moving kids from Chantilly to Centreville is so illogical, that I think pp mistyped and meant, there needs to be more kids moved from Chantilly to Westfield. Which makes sense.

They could move more kids from
Chantilly to Westfield but the prior suggestion was to move substantially more kids to Westfield from Centreville, which shouldn’t happen unless Centreville is also picking up kids from another school.

Oh that makes no sense. Centreville is overcrowded and needs fewer students to be at the correct building capacity.

The correct building capacity should be calculated based on a decent-sized facility, which Centreville currently lacks compared to other high schools in the county.

You can keep trying to look to Centreville to bulk up Westfield, but I don't think you're going to get much further than the current proposal, which only moves 77 kids out.

Ignoring their leaving Oakton too large, that is what would come closer to balancing enrollments at Centreville/Chantilly/Westfield.

Not really. Chantilly is moving 333 kids to Skyview and another 309 to Westfield. 639 kids. Time for Centreville to contribute something more than 77 kids, especially since the final scenario has it still at 104% capacity. Then, we can kill two birds with one stone and scale back this massive renovation/misuse of taxpayer dollars there while we are at it.

If you are so concerned about a misuse of taxpayer dollars, kill off Skyview. Otherwise shrinking a school that is already much smaller than its neighbors is about as dumb as it gets.

(Leaving CVHS with around 1850-1900 students would put it exactly in FCPS's right size guidelines for building capacity BTW).

It has Westfield with 2083 students at 74% capacity in a building that holds 2800+ students. (And this includes the Brookfield walkers who everyone agrees should be moved back to Chantilly)

It has Chantilly with 2642 students at 99% capacity in a building that holds 2649 students.

These numbers are ridiculous. They need to pull more kids out of Chantilly and Centreville.

Once more for those of you in the back, students are not fungible.

Sure they are. Same school system.

What are they doing?

I’m not on the PTA board but many of us are attempting to speak with elected officials and getting nowhere.

I am disappointed the Region 5 higher ups aren’t all over this. We need their support and aren’t getting it.
