For those of us with students impacted immediately by these changes - I say please vote this school board out and make sure they never serve in public office again!

I've noticed that as well. Either they want to cherry-pick for Western or they are looking to call attention to the potential impact on other schools.

Some Chantilly kids would also move to Westfield under all four of the initial options presented by FCPS. Options A and B showed a net reduction of 691 to Chantilly and Options C and D showed a net reduction of 698.

Or, focusing on Westfield, Options A and B showed a net reduction of 303 to Westfield and Options C and D showed a net reduction of 238 to Westfield.

For those referring to Chantilly High School, the building has a design capacity of 2,316 students without the modular as per the 2026-30 CIP.
The new CIP is not publicly available yet and I don’t know what their numbers are now, but it will have more than 3 empty seats.
It would have 58 empty seats as per that CIP, as it loses 691 students and gains 45.
They added three new classrooms out of previous locker bays, and under the loss of students to Western and Westfield, might lose its modular and some trailers.
I’m sick of the lies and distortions you parents project onto us other parents, as I am a Chantilly teacher and I know my school!

That is three seats! Snort!
Wasn't overcrowding in Chantilly one of the reasons why the county bought Western High School?
PP is posting counts based on the Western High scenarios, which are pretty much the same for Chantilly in every option. Chantilly currently had 2900 students, so dropping to 2218 means they’d be opening far more than 3 seats overall.
Where does 2,218 come from?
How about you check your source!
I'm PP who posted the #s, not the person you're squabbling with.
I followed the same approach which FCPS has, which is based on 2024-25 enrollment numbers.

FCPS’ options for that boundary were so disappointing.
Here’s what I would do.
I would move 1005 students out of Westfield, 370 students out of South Lakes (excluding the 38 from Fox mill woods), the 351 Oak Hill students from Franklin Farm and Chantilly Highlands, and the 436 currently Oakton bound Westfield kids.
I would exclude the 7 kids off of Ashvale (that whole street is moving 12 kids to Lees Corner Anyway)
That final result is:
1005+370+436+351=2,162.
It’s 20 more than option C.
However to avoid a split feeder at Crossfield, 38 kids could move in from Fox Mill Woods from South Lakes to Western.
That final result is:
1005+408+436+351=2,200.
I like my option E with the 2,162 than my option F with the 2,200.
Their proposals have about 250 kids shifting from CVHS to Westfield. Taking 1000 out of Westfield and only adding in 250 would leave Westfield with less than 2000 students. Given that school's demographics, that's not enough students to offer a critical. number of advanced classes.
Try referencing other proposals before you start correcting others, honey.
Maybe make your husband dinner before you come for me.

Centerville, Chantilly, and Westfields numbers are going to change by a good amount with Western. Oakton and South Lakes will see some change, the amount will depend on if they choose to move Crossfield or Fox Mill.
Its WESTFIELD. No S.
If you don't even know the names of the schools, you really don't get an opinion on who goes where.
