The new Facilities guy has reportedly been telling people during the September boundary meetings that KAA won’t be part of the current boundary study and won’t open in fall 2026.

We've heard this story before. Just like the poster who knew a guy who worked at Gatehouse and had the "leaked maps" that were all a bunch of bull too.

The two situations are not analogous.

You’re describing something that was described as non-public information. In comparison, we’ve got the new head of Facilities showing up at public community meetings and making statements.

No, we've got an anonymous poster saying that someone else heard someone else saying something. It's exactly the same as the anonymous poster saying that someone else said they had a map that said "x y z."

“Reportedly”

So we can never share second-hand information here? I’m sharing what someone who has attended several of the meetings this week posted.

You mean the school board lied to us saying that it’d open this fall? Maybe they can delay Coates relief another year as a result?

The word “lie” suggests an intent to deceive. This School Board rarely knows what it’s talking about so it’s more stupidity than bad intent. They convinced themselves KAA would be a turnkey building and now they are likely being told extensive modifications that may take a while are required.

I’m just annoyed at all the things that they have taken on, and that their analysis is on par with a mediocre sixth-graders’ efforts. I would argue that we’d have a much better school system if every school board position had sat vacant for the past two years. They really are that bad.

Leave the Supe open as well, and I'll agree with you.

It would be asinine to ignore KAA for one year and have to redraw boundaries again. The need to include it alongside it's projected boundaries in October.

KAA could be such a good escape valve for this boundary mess. Make it traditional. Define the boundaries. It would require only slight adjustments to Westfield and, maybe, Centreville. And, maybe, no adjustments.

If a traditional school, KAA will draw from a large chunk of Westfield and require part of Centreville to backfill Westfield.

Also, it's still unclear how they'll approach boundary changes for western Fairfax if KAA is excluded from the current study. You could have neighborhoods moved because KAA is ignored, and then moved again in short order when KAA boundaries are drawn.

Big mess.
