Those were supposed to occur before any of theseproposals were released, based on 8130.

In his newsletter he said this round was supposed to have meetings at each pyramid but the timeline and where was cut. I bet they push out a lot of new changes and since these initial drafts aren’t what’s getting voted on they don’t care they didn’t meet in all affected pyramids

It doesn't matter if they had a good reason to cut the pyramid meetings.

The policy that the school board drafted and voted on is crystal clear that meetings in affected pyramids "shall" ie MUST occur before any proposals were presented.

The school board violated their own policy in around 10 different pyramids.

Sure would be nice if the Timber Lane crew gave other communities the chance to have their voices heard tonight!

Top comments continue to be "don't do this" and "start by checking residency." I think the vibe of the community is coming through fine.

Right? I was thinking the same thing. Just put a one main comment and let people vote on that one.

Just found this forum, unreal how many pissy old women there are that in NoVA. Get a life and find something better to do. Leave the parents that care about where their kids go to school alone.

Looks like Emerald Chase learned that lesson. They only have one comment tonight. Much better than Timber Lane tonight.

Shrevewood parents crap all over their current poor kids (off Route 29 and outside the Beltway) so they probably aren't going to be very nice to the kids west of Hollywood Road, either. They want so bad to be Haycock South and instead the school is turning into Timber Lane West.

Shrevewood parents have given up on that community and school. Most families have taken their UMC kids to Lemon Road and it seems like most (all) would be happy to be redistricted to MHS. Pathetic little community of virtue signalers.

Aw, I'm sorry that you lost out on the house you put an offer on in Falls Hill, sweetie! Better luck next time!

The vibe at Poplar Heights pool with the proposed changes to Shrevewood and Timber Lane hanging over the community is going to be TENSE this summer.

It will be not be tense. Your wording “hanging over the community” is dramatic. There are FCC and St James families at the pool as well.

NP. Current member of the PH pool here. Have been three times in the last two weeks. Not one fellow member has talked to me about it once. Everybody just wants to live their life.

Hunt Valley seems to be taking over the last 3 sessions.

Anyone else notice a pattern from literally every community feedback session that they’ve done over the last seven months. No matter the pyramid, every stop is filled with parents who oppose the boundary changes.

That person is clearly someone who is jealous that they can't buy a house in the area. There's no other reason.

Also we literally don't know anyone at the pool with kids at Timber Lane. Those neighborhoods are closer to the Lee-Graham pool, which is easier to get into and cheaper.

The comments tonight in support of the proposed boundary changes were few and far between. There were a couple of comments tonight from people in Greenway Downs happy for their area to be mostly consolidated at Graham Road ES. I can’t think of anything else.

You do know that all the homes directly and indirectly surrounding the pool are zoned for Timber Lane. The pool itself is zoned for the school. You either are not a member or don’t know many people.

Most of the people who live near the pool don’t actually send their kids to Timber Lane. Even if it’s their assigned school.

that is the norm for nearly every boundary change that ever was. People do not like change.
