Nothing in the scenarios really helps Lewis or it's students in any meaningful way. Ridiculous.

I was the +1. I didn't feel your comment was mis

But there wasn’t a stated goal of moving kids to under utilized schools. Just “balancing enrollment” by moving kids out of the over capacity schools. FCPS is very constrained by transportation (see also, the middle school start times issue) and can’t be bussing kids any further than they currently are just so that they can use up a few hundred seats at Lewis or Herndon or wherever.

Wouldn't sending kids who live close to Herndon, many of whom have Herndon addresses, rather than bussing them all the way across the county help with that transportation issue then?

Even in the middle of the disaster of the map rollout, you still can’t drop your Langley obsession.

Don’t ever change, lady. You provide much comic relief to us on this board with your crusade. Your obsession makes me think your mom had a lot of Tylenol when you were in utero. 😉

Yes, the rollout is awful, and yes, the lady could drop her concerns and concentrate on the rollout instead of just the impacts on her kids.

What is worse though, is your comment because it demeans all women and blames mothers for the worlds ills, Drop the misogyny.

In these times it’s worth getting a little less performative pc as a political party. Gotta get some thicker skin and understand satire rather than taking umbrage at everything and claiming that the post was misogyny.

I was the +1 and didn't feel your comment was misogynistic per say. Just that it made you sound like a d*ck.

Duly noted. Anyway, let’s get back to the actual scandal.

No maps and no mention of boundary review at all in Reid’s flowery, detailed email to “team fcps”.

Unbelievable. Is team FCPS an internal email to staff? Where the heck is the public email addressing the delay?

We’re now less than 12 hours from the first community meeting, and most non-government workers don’t have today off.

FCPS staff are all working today. There should not be any excuses at this point.

Has anyone written to their school board member and received an email back about the delay and how they are going to address it for the meeting tonight?

I wrote to mine (the SB fully expected the maps out of Friday by all the emails they sent that day). I've heard crickets, but not surprised.

There seems to be a general trend in recent years amongst politicians and public figures where instead of resigning, they just basically ignore (or barely acknowledge) the scandal until it eventually leaves the news cycle and blows over. Reid no doubt has adopted this playbook; see how she handled the Hayfield scandal for example.

Has BRAC seen the scenario four map?

They didn't see the map tool, but did see the scenario 4 updated boundaries on Sat night.

Agree. I hope scenario 4 makes some attempt to help Lewis students (if they won’t just close the school outright).

Help them how? By zoning in other kids who will never go there? Like the 300 or so kids zoned there now who go elsewhere?
