[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a poor approach but based on the school board's judgement over the past year I am not very surprised.[/quote]

Why is it a poor approach? [/quote]

Because the district is huge, with very diverse school pyramids with regards to achievement.  What makes sense for the schools in the Haycock area may not make sense for the schools in the Burke area and won't make any sense for the schools around Hybia Valley.

It is a poor approach to treat such a large and diverse school district as if each elementary has the volume of AAP students as the McLean area.

They should phase out centers by pyramids which clearly have a critical mass at each base school, keep centers in the pyramids that tend to send around a dozen or fewer kids on average to the center.

That would be a smart use of resources.

I liken it to the year we had a few flurries in our part of the county and school was cancelled because it was snowing clear across Fairfax Counth.

An all or nothing approach is a stupid way to problem solve.[/quote]
