There's more than 1 person trying to tell a bunch of idiots on the other side of the county, who aren't familiar with the area, why their genius suggestion is actually not viable.

I'm not convinced they even need to move anyone else out of Chantilly, but if they do it will be Lees Corner for a multitude of reasons already covered 30 pages ago. It was further telegraphed in one of the THRU scenarios where they put the Cub Run neighborhood near Wegmans to Lees Corner, plus a handful of existing Lees Corner homes near Lowes to Westfield. I realize the THRU scenarios are off the table but these moves best signal their thought process on who, if anybody, is more likely to move to Westfield.

We know the SB and FCPS admin are risk adverse and want to avoid controversy. This is a good prediction. So how do they move as few kids as possible but still fill up KAA? They won't want to take too many kids out of Westfield because as we have seen, there aren't really any logical candidates to fill it back up and it wasn't overcrowded to begin with.

The Chantilly parent is the worst kind of FCPS parent. Gross.

The part of Cub Run zoned to Chantilly is that area by Wegmans which has a new condo development going up around the shopping center. Its really just a handful of kids right now living there.

Does FCPS have a standard formula for predicting how many kids will come out of a multiunit development?

Every single Chantilly-zoned ES is closer to Westfield than any other elementary school. (If they are happy to be rezoned, great.)

Oak Hill would take ~400 kids out of Chantilly, plus if they have that Cub Run neighborhood near Wegmans go to Westfield, that would take Chantilly to under 2500 kids. I seriously doubt they take another 400 kids (another full elementary) out of there.

The commercial area near Westfields only has a handful of high school students. Just FYI for your calculations.

And when you consider AAP transfers and the Oak Hill students assigned to Westfield. The base number of kids coming from Oak Hill to CHS is only about 250.

I'm not talking about the commercial area, smarty. I'm talking about the existing and new townhomes quickly going up. If you lived here, you'd know that.

If they are trying to avoid pissing off people, they will move as few schools as they can. So even though she's obnoxious, CHS mom is probably correct that they won't be moved.

Hahaha. You just proved pp's point. Fine to move Other People's Kids around to improve your kid's situation but of course it doesn't even occur to you that your precious Larlo might be moved elsewhere to benefit someone else.

Anything could happen. We all know FCPS and SB have priorities and motivations that often don't match with what families want.

PP's point was, "Everyone seems pretty unhappy about possible downhill effects from KAA." I directly refuted that point. PP has a habit of falsely declaring "everyone" feels a certain way. The truth is that most of the families not impacted won't care at all, and even fewer of the majority of people who don't have children at the school. Then there are some like me, happy to not be impacted while also happy that something was done to alleviate the overcrowding other than park another couple trailers wherever they can squeeze them in around the school building.

Um. You have no idea if your kid will be moved to another school, to KAA or not. That's the point. If you are zoned for Chantilly, your kid could be moved.

Greenbriar East, Greenbriar West, Brookfield, and Poplar Tree are 100% guaranteed to not move out of Chantilly. 100%

What nonsense! Nothing is guaranteed. If Westfield has a thousand open seats and CHS is overcrowded, of course the SB will move a school ADJACENT to the Westfield boundary.

You can try to rally people to your cause by inducing panic, but your targets are the wrong ones. Those schools are safe. You're going to need another tactic. Maybe start with clearly defining your goal. People may sympathize with you if you come out and state exactly what it is you are afraid of happening - unless of course it's "FCPS is opening a new school and my Herndon address might end up at Herndon in the future because of it."

Explain why FCPS won't move a CHS ES to Westfield. They are the closest schools. What do you think they will do?

They may possibly move Bull Run to eliminate the split feeder and make space at CVHS. Other than that, Westfield has by far the most undeveloped, buildable land surrounding it in the county. They'd be doing the smart thing by leaving some capacity in Westfield.

Well, as that one Bull Run mom pointed out, they are a lot closer to CVHS than Westfield and a whole lot of other schools are much closer. So I don't think that would be a popular suggestion for that crowd.

How is pointing out that Chantilly elementary schools border Westfield's boundary "inducting panic"? "Those schools are safe" ?? Why are you using such inflammatory language? The rest of use are just having a conversation about what might happen in a sane universe, why are you freaking out?

Its not really a complicated concept. Pretty obvious from a map.

Wow the Chantilly posted is both arrogant and delusional. CHS is the most crowded school, of course some CHS kids will be rezoned. She has no way of knowing it will be Someone Else's Kids.
