[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should be updating the renovation queue, not monkeying with the projections and then threatening boundary changes that very few want. [/quote] Threatening? A healthy organization checks status more often than every 50 years. [/quote] Indeed, even our own electoral college system has a built-in method for updated allocations with every census. But a brick-and-mortar school system? Nay, schools don't need any rebalancing whatsoever, let the chips fall where they may![/quote] +1. It's actually kind of absurd that anyone would be [i]against[/i] the process of an organization reevaluating to improve their operations in a reasonable fashion. Sounds like dinosaur syndrome.[/quote] Have to laugh at this. There’s nothing about announcing a “holistic” boundary review that by itself necessarily suggests improvements in any processes. For the most, it seems driven by a desire for a lack of accountability by suggesting the School Board can just outsource the responsibility for boundary changes to others, whether its staff or third-party consultants. That’s a pipe dream, because the third parties will still demand that the School Board establish or approve the criteria to be used; the School Board will have to vote of any changes; and the School Board will be on the hook for any failures to have considered factors that matter the most to families, who don’t want their kids treated as widgets. It also all feels like a bit of smoke and mirrors to provide cover for other decisions that the new members are salivating to make, but don’t want to acknowledge as a priority. [/quote] +1. You can be for the efficient operation of the FCPS school system and still know that this thing is going to cause way more problems than it solves and massive disruptions to broad swaths of students. People who believe it’ll just be as easy as scribbling some new lines are deluding themselves. Let’s hope the board comes to its senses.[/quote]
