Quite possibly no. My guess is the BOE will want to give a few more months for community feedback and let tempers cool. Also, without a vote, no lawsuit can be filed, so a delay may cause supporters of legal action to worry about other things, and slow down any fundraising. The BOE may push the vote to late June or early July when families are on vacation and not thinking about school. It can then vote quietly.

Would love this to be true.
Taylor insists that vote has to be now so that there is enough time to prepare for Crown opening.

Honestly, I am pro H. But I wouldn’t mind a delay. Crown won’t open until 2027, so why would a few months of delay make a difference? Perhaps a few months of delay where Taylor actually does some real engagement will allow tempers to cool like the other poster said. He shouldn’t be afraid to meet with anti H folks. He should instead try to engage them and maybe he will get some new fans.

I think they need to start over from scratch. First they should solicit community ideas how they should improve, have the major groups vote on the top 3 approaches, and go from there.

That’s what one of the candidates (Brett?) said. Too many options means no real option. Four options in October. Then completely new options in December. Zero community engagement btw once 12/1 options came out, whereas there were multiple community meetings for October options—though they weren’t the real options.

No boundary study will make everyone happy. Someone will be mad at something. But this was done quite possibly in a way that maximizes pissing people off. Seriously, did Taylor sit there and think how can I piss off as many people as quickly as possible?

The options should have come from community groups and voted by the community groups. The biggest players being BBC, DCC, and every school cluster.

I don't think boundary decisions should be voted on by the public or by families. Nobody wants to be the one whose neighborhood/school is disrupted. These are decisions that have to ultimately be made by someone looking at the big picture, not based on which

Agree the process was chaotic and felt like a waste of my time. It was kind of silly to start with 4 options that they had no intention of implementing. I spent a lot of time looking through them and they weren't even serious options. Kind of disrespectful.

This is a literally insane take. We have elected officials and career staff for a reason.

Kind of surprised in such an educated community some people actually thought the options were being put up for a vote

FYI this is the exact take of BOE candidates Creed. She said parent should just come up with options to vote on.

BCC isn't going to have changes and will be just fine. The DCC is destroyed.

Families should have input. This regional model really hurts DCC families.

The problem is that those elected officials and career staff disregarded what the community wants - all to cover up their mistake in building a school that was known at the time they broke ground wasn’t needed.
