[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a completely fair question, if only to set the record straight.  No one likes to be manipulated and the public was manipulated here.  Outside of the merits of changing school assignment policies in DC that is not what the general  public was led to believe was happening with this process or this committee.  For evidence, just to back to original announcements and communications and you can see that even the name of the committee and process morphed over the last year.  Read the archived news stories.

It was a classic fly under the radar maneuver by government to push through difficult changes on an unsuspecting public.  It leaves many of us with a bad taste in our mouths.  It would help to have clarify on the part of our leaders that this mission creep actual happened. Otherwise I, for one, continue to feel manipulated by the process and distrustful.[/quote]

I guess it depends on your perspective. DCPS school assignment and boundaries are royally screwed up. The idea of changing boundaries without addressing the larger question doesn't make much sense. Moving a line from one side of Connecticut Ave to the other and leaving the mess in place would be worse than the three plans they put out there, and I don't support any if those.
