Well, I don't love the name "Sully" but the Sully Community center is walking distance from the new high school.

It is a silly, silly name that does not reflect the community it will serve.
The community it will served picked Skyview. Please go find something else to whine about.
No they did not. Skyview was not in the top 100 of the names the community selected.
You are conflating 2 different things.
There were hundreds of names proposed. Those were refined to a list of 10 for a final community vote.
The final vote resulted in western and Skyview being the top two. The kids wanted Skyview.
I am fully aware of that. And the list of ten names was a list the superintendent and her cronies made, not a list of names the community wanted.
When the only choices were a boring name, a completely ridiculous name, and a list of people's names, the community was forced to choose from the list of terrible choices. They does not mean the community actually wanted Skyview.
Well, I’m a community member and didn’t have a problem with the final proposed list. And the community that showed up to vote chose western or Skyview.
Congratulations on being a community member who didn't have a problem with the proposed list. Since YOU didn't have a problem with it, that means no one should, right? It is all about you, after all.
You are not processing or comprehending what multiple people have tried to explain, quite clearly, to you. Either you have significant issues with comprehension or you are choosing to cherry-pick your facts.
Quit the pearl clutching and ridiculous exaggerations.
“Multiple” (probably the same troll) people have stated the community was ignored and no one wants Skyview.
Neither of these claims are based in facts. And there is data backing this up. What’s backing up the claims to the contrary? Nothing minus conspiracy theories and nasty little trolling comments like yours.
Once again.
At the Open Houses, the community was asked for suggestions.
I don't recall seeing Skyview on that list.
Western was on the list, but Oak Hill was a close second.
When the choices were put out for a vote, Reid eliminated any of the local geographic names (Oak Hill, Floris, Sully, and some others).
Basically, she chose Western, Skyview, and various astronauts and other names.
Why? I guess because she knows nothing of the community that has wanted a school for years. Reid and staff apparently think that the Air and Space Museum and Dulles Airport are the only things that define the area.
She must not realize that we are a community of many elementary schools, two middle schools, churches, daycare centers, preschools, shopping centers, etc. We also are the home to a community center, athletic fields, parks, and even a farm.
20171 has a population of over 51,000 people according to Censusreporter.org. It is actually a pretty well defined area that has little to do with the museum or the airport.
I guess she will ensure next that kids who go to Mt Vernon should only study George Washington.
But, honestly, Dixit may think the same thing.
To take the golden opportunity to resolve a problem that has needed solving for so many years and throw it up to the "sky" to see where the debris falls is just sad.
DP. I agree that Reid doesn't really know the local communities. I suspect she thought that any geographic name, like Oak Hill, would be perceived as favoring one area that would potentially feed to the new school over others.
That's not necessarily a frivolous concern. Many decades ago, a split over whether to call a new school "Franconia HS" or "Springfield HS" is what led to the adoption of a policy to name new high schools after individuals - in that case the purported compromise was name the school "Lee HS" (now Lewis HS). That policy was eventually abandoned in the 1970s, but it's why all the schools opened in the late 1950s and 1960s were named after individuals.
Maybe if the community could demonstrate to Reid and the School Board that the general area in 20171 is known as Oak Hill, and it's not just the name of one elementary school in the area, they *might* be more receptive to a name other than Skyview, which is indeed a silly name for this school.

Neither of these claims are based in facts. And there is data backing this up. What’s backing up the claims to the contrary? Nothing minus conspiracy theories and nasty little trolling comments like yours.
You just keep reinforcing the argument that you have comprehension issues. You really aren't helping your argument at all.
Exaggeration = incorrectly-used word in this context
Troll= incorrectly-used word in this context.
Pearl-clutching: incorrect usage for the situation
Conspiracy theories: incorrect usage in this context
"Nasty little trolling comments"? Grow up. Just because someone presents an opposing viewpoint does not mean they are being unkind or are trolling.

Where is your data? Please do not forget to include the original suggestions. You seem to ignore that.
As for (probably the same troll), I can guarantee there is more than one. I am not the only one addressing this issue. And, I live in an area that is almost certain to have kids at the school in the future. I promise you, there are many who are upset about this roll out--to include the name.
I look forward to seeing your data.

Well, those were not the top suggestions from the community. They were only the ones they were allowed to vote on.
You really don't have a problem with ignoring the community?
And, while I did not like Western or Skyview, the rest of the choices were ridiculous.
Why don't you think a name that reflects the community is appropriate?
