Isn't blaming other people getting old? Most vocal group at meetings was Lees Corner, not "RIO", and both groups, any for that matter, are allowed to advocate for their kids. That was literally the point of the meetings.

And for everyone who keeps saying the "old" maps were great and they came out a year ago, that is simply not true.
They were released in late October 2025. Similar to these, they generated a lot of feedback by impacted groups and were then set aside by FCPS so that they could focus on completing the boundary study.

We should all be asking for clarity in the facilities permitting, renovation plans, and transportation in concert with any boundary decisions.
Just like it was inane to focus on naming before boundaries, we are again putting the horse before the cart by forcing a mandatory boundary when there is so much uncertainty about renovation plans and phasing for capacity.

Disagree. They should have set the boundaries for Skyview as part of the county-wide review.

That would have given them a clear idea of the minimum number of students Skyview needs to serve, and then the renovation plans could be tailored accordingly.

Dragging everything out is just a distraction.

OP - this was suggested VERY early on. Many impacted families from initial scenarios gave feedback that doing this separately from the comprehensive boundary study made no sense. Since FCPS didn't want to slow the comprehensive results, they decided to table this and handle later. That decision created a shortened timeline for their boundary assessment and really ratcheted up the community anxiety. Renovation takes time.... so if you are going to figure out the min need, then make a plan, then get to work perhaps you shouldn't be rushing to an arbitrary opening in Fall 2026.

Yes, leaving no alternative but for Skyview to be a full or partial magnate school.

Yet the rubes never saw this coming.

McDaniel does not like elementary changes included. Put them off.

Does not want to go beyond July.
