No. No they are not. Because that would be communication.

Yep. If theyre not going to update it, they won't give any communication at all and then will say they had a tech glitch that was responsible for the map not going live and they didnt even realize it until well after it was supposed to go out.

this is 100% true. but also why they should have made sure it went out before people left for 3 days. i bet you they weren’t ready with the maps so will just pretend it was a technical difficulty.

It seems unfair to have the first meeting on this on Monday night. Parents should at least have one business day to review the maps. They should delay that meeting.

Just remember the next time that Michelle Reid is blathering on about how FCPS will be teaching kids "22nd Century skills" they can't even handle late 20th Century mapping technology.

It absolutely is unfair. And if they reschedule, they likely make it difficult or impossible for some parents who would have attended and wanted to attend to participate.

This is absolutely appalling - shame on them for botching this process from start all the way to the finish. It’s very clear they don’t want what’s best for the students and parents.

If you aren’t going to update the boundary tool, at least have the common decency to tell us. Many of us have been waiting weeks for this.

It's time for them to show some humility, admit they aren't up to dealing with all the challenges of a county-wide boundary review, and scale this review back to dealing solely with Coates overcrowding and the KAA purchase.

They will be lucky if they can manage boundary changes relating to those two developments effectively, but they have certainly shown they are not up to the task of managing a county-wide review. It's been a complete and utter shit show and it's time to admit it publicly and engage in some damage control.

Any School Board member who rises to the occasion, whether it's Melanie Meren, Ricardy Anderson, Mateo Dunne, or Ryan McElveen (none of the rest are even possibly up to the task), admits the emperor has no clothes, and finally calls for some common sense will surely receive accolades.

Agree it's appalling and disrespectful to the public they claim to represent. You said you'd provide an update, then didn't plus didn't say why. SB members should be raising hell

Write to all the SB members you mentionrd

Yup, writing to SB and Reid tonight to highlight broken promises. Won't help but have to do something....

The School Board should convene an emergency session and fire Reid before classes resume on Tuesday. Enough is enough.

There are a handful of UMC/wealthy and largely White high schools that have been renovated or expanded that are separating themselves from the rest of FCPS in attracting more kids now: Langley, Madison, Robinson, and West Springfield.

People sense that FCPS has played favorites and they gravitate towards those schools. And then the families there fight like hell against moving anywhere else.

WSHS is majority minority and has one of the largest percentage of high achieving African American students in all of FCPS.

I think WSHS is second to South County for this demographic.

Robinson might be the only school on that list that is majority white, only by a little bit.

Slinging racial demographics in a district where all but one high school is majority minority is a bad look.

I’m guessing between 5-6. Then they’ll all skip town for the long weekend until Tuesday morning.

I didn’t even put together they are off Monday.

Someone form fairfacts matters said that BRAC hadn’t even received scenario 4 yet

The first community meeting is Monday night. And they still haven't released the maps. This is so unprofessional.

This Monday night? October 13th?
