41
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:58.433
chance experience all of that is in jeopardy for middle school. Students slated to be resent because we stress not to know what options do be for students. I play the violin at what point will there be a

44
00:11:19.433 --> 00:11:29.833
Cheerleaders dance team and a marching band. Will there be enough girl to flag football? None of us know the answers to these and many more questions. Let's talk coming time when

45
00:11:29.833 --> 00:11:41.133
both the pyramid and community come together. I marched in parade, had Spirit state had spirits days, even in elementary school and watch my neighbors get dressed up for the dance Cummings, but

46
00:11:41.133 --> 00:11:53.000
recognizing alumni. The idea is not. I do see will not get this experience for at least a few years. I want the opportunity upper class men to learn from who helped set the tone model leadership. I'm

47
00:11:53.000 --> 00:12:04.433
worried about establishing a short social group. It is set up the founder meetings that kids are coming to Skyview from all over the county. When the new front lives across the county. What does that look like for having friends to hang out with in person?

48
00:12:04.433 --> 00:12:14.200
What's cool? Game 2 are good. On a Friday night for some schools, Europe, that student ID from that school. Kent. Where does that leave me as the sky? The student? So I ask

49
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:25.966
board, so vote for Skyview to be and often. Option until such a time of sky useful classes. 9th through 12th grade and the academic and extracurricular options are now.

Locks. She go to. Student Student. Carlos. Now the real.

53
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:27.300
>> Good evening. School board members and fcps stuff. My name is Carlos Nazario and I live in improve at Westfield's community rising 8th grader at Rocky Run Middle School where

54
00:13:27.300 --> 00:13:39.700
I participated, advance academic coursework maintain straight A's and have worked hard to grow academically and personally. I'm here today to respectfully ask the board to keep so broke, assigned to

55
00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:50.733
Rocky run, middle school and Gentile High school instead of reassigning us to store in middle school and Westfield High School. 2 adults. Rezoning may look like lines on a map. But the students, it

56
00:13:50.733 --> 00:14:02.133
is much more than that. It affects our friendships, our routines, our confidence, and our ability to feel secure out school. Rocky one is where I have built relationships with

57
00:14:02.133 --> 00:14:13.866
classmates and teachers. Chantal Lee High School is a school path. My friends and I have been preparing to look forward to. In January of this year after the previous rezoning decision kept Gentile

58
00:14:13.866 --> 00:14:22.733
as are assigned high school. My family and I finally felt relief. We believe the uncertainty was over, but now only months later, that

59
00:14:22.733 --> 00:14:36.566
uncertainty has returned. And it has created stress. But during the time when its students should be focused on learning growing and preparing for a high school middle school and high school are

60
00:14:36.566 --> 00:14:47.433
critical years. A sudden reassignment can affect a student's sense of belonging, emotional well-being and academic performance for small community like Stone broke. This change would be deeply

61
00:14:47.433 --> 00:14:58.833
disruptive. Please consider the students behind this decision. Please protect our stability, our friendships and our academic path. I

62
00:14:58.833 --> 00:15:05.333
respectfully ask you to keep storm broke at Rocky run, middle school and Chantilly. High school. Thank you for your time. And for listening

63
00:15:05.333 --> 00:15:06.033
to students who are directly

64
00:15:06.033 --> 00:15:25.133
affected. Student too.

65
00:15:25.133 --> 00:15:44.333
>> Student too. Student. Who

66
00:15:44.333 --> 00:16:06.900

67
00:16:06.900 --> 00:16:19.900

68
00:16:19.900 --> 00:16:32.333
of instead of walking 5 That's because sometimes they can see put things on friend's tail, if you know what you can do, lose a friend to a school for thing don't push them into

70
00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:54.866
What drive 3rd taking to the bus stop and then I have a 30 minute outside. They don't like all proceeds comfortable.

71
00:16:54.866 --> 00:17:05.500
They don't go on another 15 minutes after school sometimes and Alice. on the closing, I would like to wake up at and

72
00:17:05.500 --> 00:17:12.666
7, 6, don't change could shouldn't be changes for people on puts the state for friends and have a question. A key program. That's not a

73
00:17:12.666 --> 00:17:36.366
problem. Do more of us was for >> Isha, around. Good evening.

74
00:17:36.366 --> 00:17:48.066
Board members and members of the community. My name Shawn around rising 10th grader at Chantilly. High School. I'm here tonight on behalf of the one, the village community.

75
00:17:48.066 --> 00:17:58.700
First, I'd like to thank you for listening to our concerns and for considering retaining Chantilly High School for the Village community. For me, this isn't just about changing schools. It's about safety and

76
00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:09.600
staying connected with our neighborhood. If our communities reassigned to Westfield High School student to take the swim to bike or walk would have to cross to. 28 during the morning rush

77
00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:19.966
hour. And that simply isn't a safe route for us. The commute after school can also be challenging as many students stay late for clubs, sports and other extracurricular activities and the buses are

78
00:18:19.966 --> 00:18:30.766
available every day. That means longer rides for parents or students having to walk home, which could take over an hour. Gentilly High School has been our community's high

79
00:18:30.766 --> 00:18:44.466
school for more than 25 years. Keeping village action to the allows the students to continue learning alongside our friends and remain connected to the close knit community we've built over the years. Our community has shown

80
00:18:44.466 --> 00:18:53.100
support by collecting more than 300 signatures from residents across 20 village and neighboring communities. This demonstrates how strong their families care about keeping our neighborhood

81
00:18:53.100 --> 00:19:02.766
together. On behalf of only village community. I respectfully ask for your support and retaining change to the high school as you make your final decision. Thank you for your time and your

82
00:19:02.766 --> 00:19:23.700
thoughtful consideration. >> know Donna.

83
00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:35.300
>> Good evening. I'm So Hostin and Ana Rising freshman coming from Rocky Run, Middle school going to shun to the high school, Stony Brook at West feels is getting rezone from Chantilly Heist. High School

84
00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:46.866
to Westfield High School. I would like to propose 2 points. This may not apply to all students, but it will for rising freshmen and sophomores, I believe,

85
00:19:46.866 --> 00:19:56.266
starting over and a brand-new school after already have spent a year tuition to high school. We'll be really h*** o* students, especially because we have to leave all our friends, teachers and communities that we've

86
00:19:56.266 --> 00:20:07.366
developed. It's also going to be really hard to leave the sense of pies that we've built since now be built in school.

87
00:20:07.366 --> 00:20:18.600
I also believe having to start over at a new school. Well, a lot of pressure and stress on students. Another point that I'd like to raise. Is that students are enrolled in a lot

88
00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:29.200
of after-school clubs and commuting from school to home is much more familiar and safer due to already existing walking and biking paths. That

89
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:40.466
go from Chantilly. High School. Thank you for listening to our requests. And I hope that fcps for can not only consider parents request,

90
00:20:40.466 --> 00:20:55.266
but also the students affected. Thank you. >> Student 3. Student 3. You

91
00:20:55.266 --> 00:21:06.733
signed up as a walk in and asked to not have your name or student. 3. If you sit every

92
00:21:06.733 --> 00:21:10.200

your name read, you are student 3. Joy. Hong.

94
00:21:35.733 --> 00:21:44.933
>> Good evening, everyone. My name is joy and I live Stony Brook at Westfield Tonight. Several stone Barker residents are here together for those who cannot make it. They have

95
00:21:44.933 --> 00:21:55.766
each signed letter in to find that we have already presented. We're here to respectfully ask you to keep where truck here on middle school and Chantilly High. You

96
00:21:55.766 --> 00:22:06.800
already heard from our student perspective, you will hear from rest of us on student safety commute planning and Transportation Committee continue A T together. We hope

97
00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:17.166
these perspectives provide a complete picture before the board makes a final decision. We are asking you if you need more time to delete to delay the vote and not rushed to the

98
00:22:17.166 --> 00:22:28.400
final decision. I do want to draw your attention on consistency for the updated proposal. Our neighboring community warning Village court was revised back to Rick

99
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:40.566
Rock, Iran and Chantilly, High payment. I believe that was a last-minute change as I have been tracking them. And I see that change specifically on Tuesday, July 7 CE after July

100
00:22:40.566 --> 00:22:51.166
second release. However, I'm surprised to learn that our community Brooke, located immediately adjacent to warning religious court. If you see the map remains a sign

101
00:22:51.166 --> 00:23:00.033
differently. Despite sharing the same rolled transportation network and safety concerns went to a neighboring communities share essentially same conditions. They deserved

102
00:23:00.033 --> 00:23:10.866
cost system consideration. Please keep our community to Qatar. We are a small was just a few school age. Kids. What would have minimal impact

103
00:23:10.866 --> 00:23:19.333
school capacity. But you actually your decision makes a big impact on their life and their family's life. So please keep was rocking around middle school in Chantilly, High.

104
00:23:19.333 --> 00:23:39.166
Thank you for your time. Kathryn. Stuart. Good evening.

105
00:23:39.166 --> 00:23:50.533
Members of the school board, Dr Reid CPS staff. >> My daughter is a rising 11th grader at Westfield High School. I also have 2 younger sons who will one day attend Westfield. My daughter has had a great experience that

106
00:23:50.533 --> 00:23:59.833
Westfield so far with supportive teachers, academic rigour and a full fund sense of community. She's actually excited about the purchase of Skyview and the subsequent foundry and that the

107
00:23:59.833 --> 00:24:11.800
adjustments Fix the overcrowding at Westfield. However, we don't want Westfield capacity to go solo that they can no longer offer the full slate of programs that are currently offered.

108
00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:22.333
For example, my daughter is hoping to take AP psychology or AP European history. Her senior year. These are both niche classes and I'm concerned may not be offered with a significantly reduce

109
00:24:22.333 --> 00:24:31.666
population. The current boundary proposal puts Westfield at 72% capacity. Fcps is target is at least 80% utilization to the optimal. So please don't let the

110
00:24:31.666 --> 00:24:44.233
percentage dipped lower than 72%. And if there's a way for us to get closer to 80, that would be even better. But I'm also here to suggest that in order to strengthen Westfield in the face of lower enrollment that we could had

111
00:24:44.233 --> 00:24:55.500
an academy program at Westfield potentially moving some or all of the Chantilly. It Academy courses there. One of the strongest programs at Westfield is American Sign Language program Westfield's

112
00:24:55.500 --> 00:25:05.733
one of only 6 schools in the county to offer American sign language classes. And we host an annual voices often are which allows students to interact with local members of the deaf community. We

113
00:25:05.733 --> 00:25:16.500
currently have 2 ASL teachers and we offer ASL levels one through 4. If we could establish an ASL Academy program at Westfield, We can retain the strength of that program even in a smaller

114
00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:28.566
student body. In addition, Chantilly, Air Force ROTC health industries, cyber teachers for tomorrow programs may also be portable enough to move to some of the newly available classrooms at Westfield. Finally, Westfield

115
00:25:28.566 --> 00:25:38.200
is very close to the Sally Police station and the Fairfax County Criminal Justice Academy making it a great location to move the criminal justice program from Chantilly. Please keep help us keep Westfield Strong with

116
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:51.833
diverse programming throughout this bounty process. >> For those currently in the audience, we have announced all student means for those

>> I'm here as a South Lakes community member to talk about the impact of the proposed rezoning during the division. My boundary review current enrollment projection and percent utilization data was provided to the community. But for the SkyView process, only

132
00:28:41.666 --> 00:28:53.233
percent utilization was used. This measure doesn't adequately communicate. The impact of changes. It was July 9th. We first learned the projected enrollment of South Lakes was dropping to about

133
00:28:53.233 --> 00:29:03.966
2000 students. Also know that the percent utilization provided for South Lakes increased across the 2 bound or process ease. While the enrollment actually decreased. I'm not sure how to trust the data based on data from new

134
00:29:03.966 --> 00:29:13.466
developments South Lakes as opposed to gain 700 students over what period of time based on Fairfax County governments change over time document residential housing grew by

136
00:29:26.033 --> 00:29:36.600
flakes enrollment has never come close to that yet, Reston has continued to grow again. It makes it hard just trust the projections since South Lakes was redistricted around

137
00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:47.033
2008 to include the very neighborhood that is now being removed from its foundry. Increased enrollment allowed for more programming options. A few of those include the Ivy career related program, Abbott, Athletic leadership, game design, data science and

138
00:29:47.033 --> 00:29:58.400
for new ID courses. And we know high school is much more than classes. So Alex has grown athletic programs at a 20 plus new clouds reinvented the theater program. Parents of re-energized booster groups

139
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:09.133

157
00:33:54.766 --> 00:34:05.033
it would do with my family in the Westfield payment for the past. 23 years. I would like to address my concerns with the process used to develop the boundaries for Skyview high school. This proposal

158
00:34:05.033 --> 00:34:14.800
appears inconsistent with the intent of that CPS boundary policy. 81, 30. The policy calls for boundary decisions. That balance enrollment and capacity maximize effective

159
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:27.700
use of school facilities considers impacts on educational programming and student wellbeing and include meaningful community engagement throughout the process. This proposal falls short each of these

160
00:34:27.700 --> 00:34:38.600
principles, specifically, this process will lead to an April enrollment decrease of 26% at Westfield in the next few years. The magnitude of this change was not communicated until the most recent boundary

161
00:34:38.600 --> 00:34:49.533
maps were released. And there have been no meaningful comes by the school board to rectify that. I've seen statements about proposed construction in the area potentially bolstering Westfield

162
00:34:49.533 --> 00:35:00.033
enrollment numbers in the next few years. Are cold comfort to families who currently have no are high school age children. There have been social media posts on various platforms and

00:35:08.833 --> 00:35:18.833

165
00:35:18.833 --> 00:35:34.166
communities. There has been no proactive outreach. It's playing with what's happening or why these changes will be especially challenging for our students with special needs are duly identified. Students

highest priority. We strongly oppose. We know students from 10 high school high school. The proposed route to

224
00:46:46.100 --> 00:46:58.366
Westfield is not safe. That requires cross traveling along route. 28 busy highway ramps. As many mention my neighbors, my neighbor adults with kids

225
00:46:58.366 --> 00:47:08.566
there were T-Bone that the intersection. So they're still recovering. So it is a real concern. Also, my neighbor mission. The crash data showed

00:47:19.233 --> 00:47:28.300
like to have a more funding money to support their programs. But our students and we're just not just the

228
00:47:28.300 --> 00:47:40.366
percentages and numbers. Safety is important for us for kids, for all community. And we've tracked with travel to

239
00:50:02.533 --> 00:50:12.633
superintendent for holding this public hearing. I'm a proud Fcps alumnus and parent. The superintendent's recommendation for Skyview high school boundaries are

240
00:50:12.633 --> 00:50:23.266
reasonable and follow fcps policy. 81 30. I participated in spending review process for months and believe that the superintendent's recommendations serve the long-term protesting need for

241
00:50:23.266 --> 00:50:33.600
the western area of the county and take into account the community's feedback. The primary goal of this new school is to serve immediate area and may care and floors,

242
00:50:33.600 --> 00:50:45.533
communities. Students in this area currently command all the way to was fielding South Lakes, High Schools. This proposal, correct families and the several road corridor, the same right to a neighborhood school experience that the

243
00:50:45.533 --> 00:50:55.766
rest of the county takes for granted. Additionally, the silver line is driving up significant population growth. Fairfax County planners know it and inclusion of the Silver

244
00:50:55.766 --> 00:51:06.266
Line Elementary in the cip proves it. New construction in the coming years will likely republic so flakes and with field in the near future as well. The boundary recommendation relieve

245
00:51:06.266 --> 00:51:17.666
overcrowding at several schools, cubs commuting times and reduces foot feeders. The proposal also takes into account projected population growth which ensures long-term

246
00:51:17.666 --> 00:51:25.733
instability is a stable, sustainable and fundamentally fair I strongly recommend that the board adopt the superintendent's recommendation for the Skyview high school boundaries. Thank

247
00:51:25.733 --> 00:51:43.366
you. >> She area. Good evening,

248
00:51:43.366 --> 00:51:54.200
everybody. My name is Sheila. Could Korea and I live in Chantilly. Greta states which is also along the Centre Ville. >> Road Corridor. We're in a neighborhood north of route 50

249
00:51:54.200 --> 00:52:06.800
but south of Skyview High School, our neighborhood sits along Centerville Road. The main north-south road leading directly to Skyview. We are

250
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:18.100
just outside the Skyview boundary only about a quarter mile south of where it ends at least corner Road and Centerville road Chantilly, states along with neighboring

251
00:52:18.100 --> 00:52:28.133
Armfield Farm and Chantilly Place have 12 students, including my rising 9th grader. To my knowledge who have opted to the amazing experience that's going to occur at Skyview for the

252
00:52:28.133 --> 00:52:41.233
upcoming school year. SkyView bus more likely than not. I'm not enough CPS employee, but I'm just guessing by all the school buses that go. It will

253
00:52:41.233 --> 00:52:49.400
travel on Centerville Road passing directly by our communities. I had a map, but I wasn't allowed to bring it in, but I will send it to you all during eat for with

254
00:52:49.400 --> 00:53:03.166
e-mail. I am requesting that a regular SkyView bus stop. Our regular bus stop. It happens to pass on Centerville Road.

255
00:53:03.166 --> 00:53:15.933
To pick up our 12 students. The intersection. I'm referring to where all of our feeder schools stop. That is low street and Centerville Road. It's an established bus

256
00:53:15.933 --> 00:53:27.333
stop for the elementary middle and high school. We are zone 2. And I hear that there's going to be a depot model. If you are not within the fi the

257
00:53:27.333 --> 00:53:37.900
SkyView boundary, if it is decided upon that, the depot will be at Chantilly. High School are 12 students will have to travel south away from Skyview in the opposite direction just to reach the depot before heading north

258
00:53:37.900 --> 00:53:40.866
again, passing by our community. So I'm requesting.

259
00:53:40.866 --> 00:54:09.366
A bus stop. That's the Lousiana. Too short for this.

260
00:54:09.366 --> 00:54:19.233
>> Good evening. I'm a parent of 2 students who are zoned to attend Westfield High School. They currently go to Rocky run and Bull run respectively. In my opinion, requirements of policy, 81 30, have not been

261
00:54:19.233 --> 00:54:30.666
met with respect to the Western boundary study to balance capacity, proximity in transportation as well as programming access. First capacity is not in balance.

262
00:54:30.666 --> 00:54:40.233
Westfield is projected to be at 72% capacity while the other area high schools are close to or over 100% capacity, Stone middle school will now be Westfield only feature and its projected at

263
00:54:40.233 --> 00:54:51.200
97% capacity. If we are saying that future growth is going to fill Westfield, where those students going to go to middle school. The 97% does not

264
00:54:51.200 --> 00:55:02.766
include the 100 AP students will return to stone from Rocky run the year after the boundary study is in place. Additionally, there are more state families here who are

265
00:55:02.766 --> 00:55:06.600
somewhat close to Westfield who do not wish to go to Westfield. Are we going to allow number to dip even below

266
00:55:06.600 --> 00:55:23.533
72%? Next, Programming needs to be. Addressed at Westfield to ensure this decrease in percentages will not affect

267
00:55:23.533 --> 00:55:35.033
our children's access to programming. We need to ensure they have access to AP STEM classes. Advanced placement courses. And I don't know that the academy is going push the needle if our percentages move

268
00:55:35.033 --> 00:55:47.333
below 72%. Well, the academy will provide great options for students to come into Westfield. They don't go into our numbers for determining our programming and our student capacities. I

269
00:55:47.333 --> 00:55:58.100
respectfully ask that you guys do look at the student needs and the farms percentages for what's happening with the boundary capacity because I although I don't think it's intentional, I do think there is going to be a significant

270
00:55:58.100 --> 00:56:05.866
shift in Westfield population that will then further impact potential access to programming. again ask you guys, please look over these

271
00:56:05.866 --> 00:56:15.266
numbers please remember, Westfield deserves to have.

272
00:56:15.266 --> 00:56:30.866
Sarah cattle on him. Good evening. Also short, my name Sarah Catalan. Donate 3 children in Fcps. Our family

273
00:56:30.866 --> 00:56:42.733
just completed our 12th and final consecutive year across country. >> I was a former PTA president during my time. Our youngest just been a 6th grade and I have a rising senior. No 10. I just want to thank you

274
00:56:42.733 --> 00:56:52.400
all were thrilled to see that the final boundary map leaves the open boundary unchanged. You really listened. We have come in for us and we appreciate your your

275
00:56:52.400 --> 00:57:02.833
willingness to work with our community. We also applaud the change in our middle school. Simon to Franklin, Middle, which will better align us with our neighboring schools and friends particularly well moving us from the Carson

276
00:57:02.833 --> 00:57:15.966
split feeder. I would like to address a topic that came up Thursday night late at the meeting about opens enrollment flashing at 103%, which was discussed at the meeting.

277
00:57:15.966 --> 00:57:25.500
Oakton was designed and renovated in 2022. To accommodate 2,646 students and therefore is only 50 students overcapacity currently this over Roman is temporary and

278
00:57:25.500 --> 00:57:39.733
not a trend. The cip projects a decline in opens enrollment to 98% by 2030, based on the declining populations of our feeder schools, including

279
00:57:39.733 --> 00:57:49.266
cross-field during my 12 years. Crossville does decrease in enrollment by 24% and is projected to decline another 13% Fy 2031. A similar

280
00:57:49.266 --> 00:58:00.633
pattern is occurring at neighboring schools like way pulls Mill Elementary and Navy Elementary, which are projected to drop to 72% and 81% respectively by 2031. So

281
00:58:00.633 --> 00:58:11.266
as these feeder schools enrollment stick Kline pins will normalize as well. I have spent the last 20 months fully engaged in a boundary process.

282
00:58:11.266 --> 00:58:21.766
And the message from the community is clear and consistent and based on the superintendents, final maps fcps and the expert

283
00:58:21.766 --> 00:58:32.433
consultants agree Crossville remain at Oakton High School. >> The boundary should remain unchanged. Thank you so much.

284
00:58:32.433 --> 00:58:46.666
>> Molly Sullivan. Good evening. My name is Molly Sullivan and Sully District resident. I'm deeply concerned that the sticks it called the Sound reminds nearly perfect

285
00:58:46.666 --> 00:58:58.633
at last week's meeting, it demonstrated lack of understanding and pulse of Sully district. There is on the board. Many are not happy. Certain communities are being ignored and you're not ready for a vote on Thursday. I'm

286
00:58:58.633 --> 00:59:08.500
here tonight to speak about what often feels like the forgotten middle child of Sally Westfield High School. It is not standing school that has developed unfair reputation outside of their community. speak with

287
00:59:08.500 --> 00:59:18.566
families. I hear nothing. The bulldog pride benching. 22 out of 30 available AP courses widely revered and state championship teams and incredible marching band dedicated teachers and a

288
00:59:18.566 --> 00:59:30.133
community that left at school. The same families tell me that their emails phone calls are and returned and they feel unheard during this process. Currently, Westfield is projected to more than 1000

289
00:59:30.133 --> 00:59:40.100
students. Fewer students means fewer advanced courses, electives and opportunities for Westfield. I'm asking that this board bring forward a motion guaranteeing that academy programs will transition from Chantilly to

290
00:59:40.100 --> 00:59:51.700
Westfield for the 27 28 school year. That timeline provides ample opportunity to determine which academies make the most sense. Well, helping address overcrowding at Chantilly and strengthening Westfield's

291
00:59:51.700 --> 01:00:01.066
future. Finally, please do not vote this week. I respectfully ask that someone bring a motion to delay the boundary view at Skyview Boundary vote to arrive at a solution that resident residents feel comfortable with and have a

292
01:00:01.066 --> 01:00:06.133
clear path moving forward. We are not in a rush. We do not have to do this on Thursday. Thank you for your

293
01:00:06.133 --> 01:00:23.466
consideration in time. John Jo.

328
01:06:45.166 --> 01:07:00.466
consideration. >> Colleen done. Colleen Dime.

329
01:07:00.466 --> 01:07:12.233
I'm calling the Centerville parent over 15 years. This year I had one student was killed and another out full run. Skyview was a major investment to relieve Western

330
01:07:12.233 --> 01:07:24.033
overcrowding in what feels like 11th hour. The latest proposal offers minor really for the vote in Centreville and Chantilly, hovering around 100% Southlake Sunday be free and Westfield at 72%. Please

331
01:07:24.033 --> 01:07:34.433
consider if this is fiscally responsible. The Boundary Review Advisory Committee lack people representation from all schools, areas with early proposed changes have ample opportunity for their

332
01:07:34.433 --> 01:07:44.400
questions and concerns to be addressed. Well, there has been little opportunity to do the same for the latest changes. These factors influence which Moises have shaped the process versus

333
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:55.733
those which have been absent or ignored. Please consider if policy 81, 30 priorities of programming access proximity enrollment and transportation have gotten the process. And

334
01:07:55.733 --> 01:08:07.466
if it has been a equitable. Questions have recently been raised about the accuracy of enrollment numbers as well as future projections, farms, projections, location and timing of housing Corona.

335
01:08:07.466 --> 01:08:18.400
Please consider if the process continues to be transparent. Well informed and grounded data. We have heard many concerns tonight and I really do not envy the difficult

336
01:08:18.400 --> 01:08:28.033
decisions inherent to arranging boundaries to best serve the entire Western community. The proposed boundaries specifically for Skyview seems largely settled.

337
01:08:28.033 --> 01:08:37.233
Please consider that there is still time to do a little fine-tuning of the remaining boundaries to achieve better balance in enrollment. I urge you good stewards with the goal of what is best for the

338
01:08:37.233 --> 01:08:49.066
western region to please take the time to further refine these boundary changes for true balance. Well, considering fiscal responsibility policy, one, 30 priorities available data,

339
01:08:49.066 --> 01:09:07.300
transparency and equity. Thank you so much. Captain Ryan.

340
01:09:07.300 --> 01:09:24.900
Katherine Ryan. >> Hi, my name is Katherine Ryan and I am here. We live in the Franklin Farm neighborhood

341
01:09:24.900 --> 01:09:33.933
and my children have for the past 4 years. Walk to Franklin Middle School and with this change, you are going to move my kids from walking 10 minutes to school to Walker to

342
01:09:33.933 --> 01:09:47.933
now having to commute to to Carson, Middle School. This is in direct violation of policy. 81, 30 with keeping local

343
01:09:47.933 --> 01:09:58.166
students together. We would strongly urge the board to realign Franklin from students attending. Frankel from students to attend Franklin Middle School instead of

344
01:09:58.166 --> 01:10:09.300
sending them to Carson Middle School. You are taking the kids from Oak Elementary that normally attend Franklin Middle School and now moving them. 2. Carson and instead taking the Crossville

345
01:10:09.300 --> 01:10:18.966
Elementary School students which are also Franklin student, Franklin Farm Kids and moving them away. The

346
01:10:18.966 --> 01:10:27.366
reuniting students gives an opportunity for all our students who live in the neighborhood to really form good bonds. And they are going to continue to grow our

347
01:10:27.366 --> 01:10:38.900
community further. Taking students that live half a mile or more away from school, which takes him from the established walk zones and transfers them to Carson

348
01:10:38.900 --> 01:10:51.233
Middle School, which is 2.3 miles away. This now makes them have to get up at least a half hour earlier. If not more to drive and they can no longer walk home from after-school activities, which

349
01:10:51.233 --> 01:11:02.333
means there's going to be a bigger burden on busing. We already have an issue with our school district with busing. So adding a larger financial

350
01:11:02.333 --> 01:11:13.266
capacity to that is a extreme to me. also would like to bring up that now that you're moving so many students away from Chantilly, High School,

351
01:11:13.266 --> 01:11:19.966
one of the big concerns for me as Chantilly. High school parent also is my attended a class that's a world

civilization, English class. John Goodman.

353
01:11:43.033 --> 01:11:54.400
>> Good Evening. School board members and Dr Reid name is Don Goodman my son is a rising Skyview freshman. The board's plan for Skyview Athletics and Vhsl membership lacks

354
01:11:54.400 --> 01:12:04.866
sufficient detail and raises concerns over whether SkyView students would be fairly evaluated by school coaches and the 2026 27 school year.

355
01:12:04.866 --> 01:12:16.600
The plan says in 26 27 students can participating athletics at their base school. And that's got be will apply for ages. A membership for the 27 28 school year. However, what incentive 2

356
01:12:16.600 --> 01:12:27.166
coaches at the base schools have to select SkyView students knowing the students will be switching to Skyview in 27. 28 coaches and programs. Don't want to give a

357
01:12:27.166 --> 01:12:37.266
variable roster spot and invest in a player unless they think they will be with the program. Long term. And as for the 27 28 vhsl entry would have Skyview doesn't get

358
01:12:37.266 --> 01:12:50.166
membership. Skyview students like mine will be in limbo for another year. Unlikely to be selected by coaches at their base schools. To ensure that

359
01:12:50.166 --> 01:12:59.533
rising freshman students have the option of remaining sorry. Let me rephrase. I'm proposing that. Rising freshman like my son have the option of remaining with their base

360
01:12:59.533 --> 01:13:08.200
school athletic teams for all 4 high school years and that those schools know that that's a possibility so that the new be fairly evaluated. Thank

361
01:13:08.200 --> 01:13:24.100
you. >> With the Cook County. Good Evening. School board members.

362
01:13:24.100 --> 01:13:36.733
My name is with the cup. That and off student at Brookfield Elementary. Firstly, thank you for this opportunity and thank you for your time and for the walk on the Western boundary

363

this foot drop village community being sign from Chantilly High to breastfeed school. What objective analysis did the board? did. The board can see development

thank you so much for this opportunity. Had their McCain.

01:15:40.133 --> 01:15:50.900
>> My name is Heather McCain and I am here on behalf of the Lonnie, what the Oaks H.O.A. and I am deeply frustrated to be standing here We learned recently through social media that there is an effort by

374
01:15:50.900 --> 01:16:00.400
parents at Westfield to encourage the board to move our neighborhood. From Chantilly to Westfield, to protect their own interests that you might consider this

375
01:16:00.400 --> 01:16:11.100
request to rip apart our pyramid to move our kids that they don't know to assuage their concerns is disturbing. I believe that the persistent confusion stems directly from

376
01:16:11.100 --> 01:16:21.133
how the student planning area map is drawn and how long the oaks appears on it. So I want to highlight 3 critical points for you when looking at the map of 4 on the road between

377
01:16:21.133 --> 01:16:32.433
Route 50 and Poplar tree. We provided to all maps to make this easier. First SP 8.44, 0, 4, consists of Willard Road Hannah Juror Court and Hazel

378
01:16:32.433 --> 01:16:45.100
Park Court. It is owned entirely for industrial use. There are no students there. Second SP a 44 20 contains Mariah court and that S.

379
01:16:45.100 --> 01:16:55.466
Mariah court is part of the same industrial complex. It's the streets previously mentioned. They're 0 students. The natural boundary is the flat Lake Stream Valley Park.

380
01:16:55.466 --> 01:17:07.066
Policy. 81, 30 states that the boundaries. should take into consideration. Natural and made about her boundaries. So Dr read correctly. Recognize

381
01:17:07.066 --> 01:17:20.233
the park is our natural boundary. We are not adjacent with any spa's to our north that contain children. We would be the only S P a and our side. We're on the road

382
01:17:20.233 --> 01:17:30.466
from the wall. He won the intersection to Poplar Tree to be This removes us from all adjacent spa's and forces and inefficient busting every

01:17:30.466 --> 01:17:38.166

385
01:17:56.766 --> 01:18:06.966
>> Thank you board and thank you, Dr Reid. First off, I want to say thank you because I don't know if ever had a chance on. What made the system actually work of Dow

386
01:18:06.966 --> 01:18:19.166
doing a switch in back to rocky right? That really didn't need a lot fix to a split feeder. One thing that I did love about is this process has been a very thorough

387
01:18:19.166 --> 01:18:30.033
process. I mean, I can't speak for the other communities. I can only speak for own, you know, to me it all comes down to the facts, the guidelines and the policies. And it did seem in our case that's

388
01:18:30.033 --> 01:18:42.866
followed. And I don't want to speak on behalf of other communities. It is interesting to see other neighborhoods trying to speak on behalf of wall in the Oaks. That does

389
01:18:42.866 --> 01:18:53.000
concern us. We do believe the board and Doctor Reed have been very fair throughout this whole process. And the system did show that it did work. And so I would just ask that there

390
01:18:53.000 --> 01:19:04.833
seems to be a lot of noise. you know, I'm gonna bring up. I'm actually in the cybersecurity industry. I've actually been in the industry before it even existed. We are

391
01:19:04.833 --> 01:19:17.600
some really bad things that I do want to address, at least to say, look at we need to be a role model. We are the parents. We need to be a role model to our kids. I've seen

392
01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:27.833
things that I don't think are fair. To the board. I don't think it's fair to Doctor Reed. It's not fair to what they have even said about us and our own neighborhood. Once

393
01:19:27.833 --> 01:19:34.200
again, I just asked you how did talk. What are the facts? What are the guidelines and whether the policies that's

394
01:19:34.200 --> 01:19:51.300
all ask for. Thank you. Jennifer. Will. >> Good evening. I'm also speaking for won the Oaks.

395
01:19:51.300 --> 01:20:02.433
This is not the first time or small neighborhood has been treated as a quick fix to address broader concerns that do not benefit our own children earlier this year fcps are stored Wani Oaks to run rocky run, allowing our

396
01:20:02.433 --> 01:20:12.633
children for the first time in over 20 years to have a consistent educational path from elementary through high school within the same pyramid. Thank you to the board for finally making that

397
01:20:12.633 --> 01:20:26.100
correction. Now people would once again use our neighborhood as a convenient fix for the other communities. Concerns forcing our children back into a fragmented school experience elementary and

398
01:20:26.100 --> 01:20:35.333
middle school in one's pyramid and a high school in the other. And what point do we stop asking the same small community to bear the burden of these changes? When is enough enough? Dre presented a

399
01:20:35.333 --> 01:20:48.566
plan that makes geographic sense. Students iOS can walk to Chantilly High School without crossing major roads. Our neighborhood is connected by sidewalks and trails to nearby communities. Also zone

400
01:20:48.566 --> 01:20:59.300
for Chantilly, helping students maintain friendships and community ties. 1 dot is located on the Chantilly side of flat look stream along with the other neighborhoods. Zoned

401
01:20:59.300 --> 01:21:08.866
for Chantilly. The rest of 44 to 0 on the opposite side of the stream is industrial land with no residents. Wani Oaks is the only residential neighborhood along the northeast side. A long lonely

402
01:21:08.866 --> 01:21:20.466
roads suggested to move. Fcps policy should not be set aside to accommodate athletic interests or other communities preferences. It is frustrating to see proposals that would

403
01:21:20.466 --> 01:21:30.166
disrupt the educational experience of other people's children to achieve those goals. We trust that the poor can see the broader picture. I will do. What is right for our children, our community and

404
01:21:30.166 --> 01:21:34.500
the principles established fcps policy. People in the Oaks at Chantilly as Dr Reid

405
01:21:34.500 --> 01:21:56.266
presented. Thank you. Aimee Rand.

406
01:21:56.300 --> 01:22:06.766
Good evening. >> The last 2 documents that I reviewed about Skyview head to changes regarding transportation in the vhsl process that I wanted to highlight and encourage you to

407
01:22:06.766 --> 01:22:20.433
continue your support. My request is that implementation decisions prioritize equitable access and realistic timeline. So every student has the opportunity to fully participate. Skyview reflects

408
01:22:20.433 --> 01:22:29.633
the values of innovation, inclusion and one Fairfax by serving students from across our county. If transportation limits participation and opportunity is not truly

409
01:22:29.633 --> 01:22:42.166
equal. Additional depot, transportation would help ensure students from every part of Fairfax County can engage fully in school life. Please support the school's request to add additional depot stops for students

410
01:22:42.166 --> 01:22:53.166
transferring from out of boundaries. I support Skyview joining Vhsl. However, readiness should be measured by clear benchmarks rather than deadlines athletic programs succeed. When schools

411
01:22:53.166 --> 01:23:05.966
have stable environment stable enrollment, appropriate facilities. Transportation and enough students to build competitive teams. Please help ensure Skyview success by

412
01:23:05.966 --> 01:23:17.000
expanding transportation access and allowing athletic participation to grow. According to measurable readiness benchmarks rather than a fixed timeline. That approach best reflects one

413
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:27.266
Fairfax commitment to equity and student success. The shifts the conversation to sustainability. should not be measured by how quickly

414
01:23:27.266 --> 01:23:38.066
Skyview reaches a milestone. But whether every student has equitable access to the opportunities that make high school meaningful by expanding transportation and using readiness benchmarks for vhsl

415
01:23:38.066 --> 01:23:41.533
participation. We can build a program that is sustainable,

416
01:23:41.533 --> 01:24:09.566
inclusive and worthy of the students said it serves. Comer

no major streets on the way to Chantilly High School. And it's easy for kids from other community to go to the Chantilly High School talk across major streets. And it's not fair to compare those with

01:27:15.633 --> 01:27:25.733
We're not talking about 5 to 10 years. We're talking about 40, 40 years from now. You'll want to have a new high school. There's very difficult in this kind of real estate area. And I like also would

>> It's got mostly. >> Good evening. Superintendent redone members of the school board. I'm a

436
01:27:55.566 --> 01:28:06.066
Westfield High school faculty member in coach. But more importantly, U.S. always station resident and parent of 2 future Westfield Bulldogs. To be clear, my present here is nothing to do with football

437
01:28:06.066 --> 01:28:16.100
and winning games. I'm here because I'm deeply concerned for our community. Westfield, one of our county's largest facilities is being hollowed

438
01:28:16.100 --> 01:28:26.266
out. Just 72% capacity. This drop of 800 students will trigger a devastating chain reaction. Staffing cuts will force the cancellation of advanced courses in

439
01:28:26.266 --> 01:28:38.400
specialized electives. We will lose. 45 of the junior faculty who run most of our after school programs and make no mistake definitely to our programs will trigger an

440
01:28:38.400 --> 01:28:47.633
immediate exit is. Elementary parents already prepared to vote with their feet and abandon this pair of it. You are forcing Westfield into an

441
01:28:47.633 --> 01:28:59.866
unnecessary downward spiral. As late as May 2026. We were shown maps with a stable enrollment of 2,300 students for Westfield. But at the

442
01:28:59.866 --> 01:29:13.100
final hour over the July 4th holiday weekend, the county quietly gutted our numbers to 1900. It was a classic bait-and-switch tactic in a shattered community. Trust.

443
01:29:13.100 --> 01:29:22.466
Representative Dixit recently stated she hasn't heard from anyone who is upset. We are not just upset. We feel betrayed. Before we vote on

444
01:29:22.466 --> 01:29:33.500
Thursday. We will hear about Academy students in construction projections to increase West Westfield's enrollment. But academy students do not count in your enrollment, nor do they take

445
01:29:33.500 --> 01:29:42.766
core classes. Construction projects often leave us with mythical students. I urge this board to reject this flawed

446
01:29:42.766 --> 01:29:56.266
plan, protect Westfield. >> And deliver the transparent, equitable solution. The entire county was promise. Thank you.
