[quote=Anonymous]It was pointless.  Someone gave a presentation that will be replicated online today, just going through the slides.  They stated at the outset that they would not be taking Q&A.  Then there were maps around the room with reps from I think FLO?  You could ask questions in a vacuum about each of the new options to that rep.  Turnout was pretty good.  Tone was fine given that there was no group Q&A and people were milling around not exactly sure what to ask or who to talk to.

I asked whether the consultants were taking into account projections regarding how FARMs rates would change at each school once the regional model is implemented, noting that we've been told time and time again that the two are "inextricably linked."  The consultant confirmed that the boundary study reps are not in contact with the regional program model designers.  She also confirmed that the boundary consultants are constrained by the region boundaries (1-6) when making their proposals.

I also asked how it was that FARMS rates for Sligo Middle School and Einstein increase in each of the three new proposals (E-G) when one of the stated pillars of that study is demographics.  She did not have a good answer except to say that there were some marginal increases at other schools with traditionally lower FARMS rates too.
