[quote=Anonymous]Tonight's Work Session is covering the 1,300 seats at the HS level and the enrollment and transfer policy.  One of the changes the APS staff is proposing is to eliminate the twin-as-one policy at the secondary level, i.e. at HB Woodlawn.  The new policy would require each twin to enter the lottery and get in or not as an individual.

Nancy freaked out, essentially yelling at the staff that she "find[s] it offensive that people are willing to discriminate against the biological connection between twins.  It can be very detrimental to separate them. I am really offended by that! It's a very special and psychological position they are in." She told them they couldn't "forcibly separate families."  Never occurred to her that gee, maybe if the kids don't want to be separated then maybe they should just go to their neighborhood HS.  She basically tried to force a Board vote on the issue.  Tannia agreed with her, Reid didn't.  Barbara said she didn't have a position, and James was silent.  Major bitch mode.

Tell me again when she's up for re-election?
