I’m sorry you made a poor choice when you bought your house. |
I feel sorry for your kids. :roll: |
That is because of Biden's interest rates. |
. No. You don’t sit around and wait until a new policy is adopted. Don’t be ridiculous. |
That’s exactly what you’re doing, even if you come on here and kvetch about it. |
Going to the meetings and speaking about property values won't be a good look. Guaranteeing profits for land sales is not within the School Board's purview. |
It's clear that many members of the School Board would like to use boundary changes as a way to reallocate housing equity. However, they won't admit it, and there won't be anything in the revised boundary policy that speaks to that. So anyone who shows up at a School Board meeting and complains about their houses losing value will get brushed off. It may resonate more if people keep driving home the point that over the years FCPS deliberately varied what different schools offer. It's odd to highlight the variety of programs, but then tell parents it really doesn't matter and we can just reassign you, for example, from an AP school to an IB school if we feel like it. The wealthiest will get around it by pupil placing; those with lesser means may have fewer options and won't be able to swing that. |
I don’t have to care for my own family, luckily. It’s the principle for me. Reboundary for capacity and efficiency, try to keep neighborhoods and communities together. |
Better to conduct a truly holistic review so they don’t end up losing tax revenue or degrading strong pyramids simply because someone got redistricting fever. |
You should have ended with "Better to conduct a truly holistic review." After that they can assess the pros and cons of making changes to pyramids or not. |
Just comparing enrollment to total capacity is short-sighted and anything but “holistic.” |
Then building costly, massive 3000-student expansions as a solution is also short-sighted since those are built to accommodate the current enrollment when total capacity is less. |
Total capacity means county-wide but nice try. |
Equity also includes proximity, so I don’t see the School Board bussing students from 7 Corners (adjacent to Justice) to McLean HS in the name of equity, for example. |
Ours was higher under Bush and you don’t want to know what my parent’s were under Reagan. |
