Really? They don't seem that annoying to me.

Really? The one mom going on and on about how Crossfield is the reason her kid is getting rezoned to Navy isn't annoying? She's completely ignoring the fact that Oak Hill is getting zoned out of Franklin, and without it, Franklin will be at 80-something percent capacity There's plenty of room for the 2-3 classes of Crossfield kids there. The reason Navy kids are getting rezoned to Rocky Run is because Rocky Run is the primary Chantilly feeder, not because of Crossfield. Anyway, we'll see where Crossfield ends up. Almost everyone I've talked to would prefer to stay at Carson.

Oh dear. Chantilly HS is south of Route 50. Guess we need to rezone everyone north of Route 50 to other schoosl. Since it is an insurmountable barrier.

Because RIO lobbied for it to try to ensure their kids stayed franklin to oakton. And they have a parent embedded at Gatehouse.

Is there anything we can do about this? It’s messing up middle school boundaries for other Chantilly and Oakton families.

They are eliminating split feeders at both Wolftrap and Spring Hill ES.

It’s so obvious some of you have no ability to read a map. If you did you’d know moving Lees Corner when it’s so close to Chantilly would be the epitome of stupid. It appears Reid and several School Board have quickly come to the same conclusion.

Scenario 1 tries to eliminate Navy as a split feeder - by moving current Navy Chantilly HS families (including Highland Oaks) all the way to Oakton HS. Sorry but not interested in that commute. The elementary school kids all change friends in middle school anyway. I’m not sure I see a need to keep all of the elementary at the same high school?

Scenario 3 also eliminates Navy as a split feeder by moving all current Navy Oakton HS families over to Chantilly HS.

That requires bumping Lee's Corner out--it is not going to happen unless they move out a whole bunch of Brookfield and Poplar Tree.

But why would moving Navy Chantilly HS families to Oakton HS bump Lees Corner out of Chantilly? I don’t get the connection?

OOPs! I Must have misread. I thought you were moving all of Navy IN to Chantilly. But, those Navy kids live across the road from Chantilly. They should not move them out.

Yeah. Scenario 1 moves all Navy kids out to Oakton. Scenario 3 moves all Navy kids in to Chantilly. Scenario 2 leaves the Navy kids’ high schools alone which is why I’m in favor of that one.

Scenario 3 moves all the newly zoned Navy kids to Chantilly,[b] but it also rezones a portion of them to Waples Mill > Oakton. However, if they aren’t touching ES boundaries now, then there will still be a portion of Navy kids who go to Oakton.

I thought that was actually in Scenario 1?

Since they aren’t touching the elementary school boundaries my guess is they would revise the maps then so those kids would stay with the Navy cohort. I am eager to see the new maps at the end of the month.

The scenarios are all crazy because there are too many moving pieces. There are separate issues that really do not affect Chantilly (it is pretty much a given that Oak Hill will leave), Centreville, and Westfield.

Whether Fox Mill or Crossfield goes to Skyview (and one of them should be a given) has nothing to do with how to backfill Westfield. Neither of those schools really has anything to do with Chantilly, Centreville, or Westfield.

So, they have put the shift between Fox Mill and Crossfield into maps while they are shifting around schools south of 50 to determine who goes to Westfield.

These should be two separate things. The only thing that confused the issue was when they put Lee's Corner into the mix--when it should not have been there.

There should be maps for Skyview (north of 50) and separate maps for filling Westfield (south of 50) for high school.

After that, they can figure out middle schools.

I completely disagree with this. Crossfield not going to Skyview and demanding Franklin MS (to stay at Oakton) forces out many Chantilly families from Franklin MS. That disrupts the Navy cohort at the middle school level. And now to compensate they are splitting up Navy to Franklin and Rocky Run. Which hurts the Navy Oakton families who get sent to Rocky Run.

Crossfield not going to Skyview forces more Westfield families to have to fill Skyview, as a result leaving a greater hole at Westfield that has to be backfilled. They tried to use Lees Corner, a school in walking distance of Chantilly, to backfill Westfield.

They really need to set the boundary for Skyview, leave everyone else alone and see how Skyview relieves overviewing at the other high schools first before making huge changes.
