[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One school board member made the point last night , they should not have voted on the boundary changes without all the parts on the table evaluated at the same time.  That should have included transportation, AAP centers , middle school start times everything should have been comprehensive.

That’s called boiling the ocean. This community hates change, and the only way to accomplish any change is incremental. What you propose would be seismic and would cause even more of the disruption people here are complaining about. [/quote]
I think PP misunderstood. What Dunne wanted in the “total package” was what impacts Reid’s boundary recommendations would have on things like transportation. Before voting on the changes they should have been presented with a phasing plan and the costs associated with it.[/quote]

Recall that phasing was part of the package, until Dunne and his cabal swooped in last minute and forced a vote to change phasing from “the greatest extent possible” to specific grade levels.

It’s ironic that Meren and Ricardy are complaining about 5th and 6th graders not being bussed, when their own phasing stunt denied all K-4th graders from even having a chance to stay with their friends at all. [/quote]

Giving Reid and board members like S. Anderson, Frisch and Lady more wiggle room would have been a terrible idea. These folks want zero accountability and maximum discretion, which is why they punted on phasing and transportation when Frisch, McDaniel and Sizemore-Heizer were rewriting Policy 8130.

Nice try to rewrite history for your  friends but it’s a fool’s errand.
