It’s just a name. I thought you guys were concerned about the danger of the bus ride.
I guess the sweatshirt is more important. (shrugs)
Happy to be at Skyview, although I dislike that name.

Meh.
Loudoun has Rock Ridge, Lightridge, Riverside, and Woodgrove - all equally bland.
No one wants to offend someone with the name of an individual and even geographic names that actually mean something seem to invite controversy.
It's a silly name for what will likely end up being an OK school.

Because they wanted this name all along, they sent out a BS survey with this name and a bunch of other awful names, knowing well-sure the public would choose this name because it was the least offensive of the group. That doesn't mean the public actually supported this name.
This name will be the butt of many jokes. It is a horrendous choice.
Oh, for a School Board with common sense.

They keep spreading the breadcrumbs in front of everyone with all these little decisions leading to the outcome above.
But they (Reid and SB) are masterfully doing it in a way that keeps parents and communities arguing with one another instead of banding together to throw the bums out.

beats Justice--but that is not an endorsement

It sounds very rural, like the highlight of the school year would be a field trip to Luray Caverns.

Skyview passed as the new name with no opposition on the School Board and one abstention.
