worth watching from 1:08:00 to 1:22:00 on boundary [/quote]

Melanie Meren did a good job pointing out how sloppy this process has been to date, but Frisch and his colleagues WANTED to dump responsibility for a county-wide review onto the superintendent, FCPS staff, and any "experts" they'd hire.  No one, including Meren, should be shocked that it's turning out to be a debacle.

Robyn Lady is just WRONG when she claims transfers for a foreign language is not in the current transfer regulation.  It's expressly identified in Regulation 2230.16 (Section III.B.4 refers to "world language course sequence not available at the student's base school").

One of their problems is that they're trying to screw families who'd be grandfathered by denying them transportation to their existing schools so they can change middle school start times and/or change more boundaries.  They are doing this by claiming that grandfathered kids would be treated as if they are student "transfers" pursuant to Regulation 2230.16, but that's NOT how FCPS has treated the phasing-in of boundary changes in the past.  Kids were absolutely provided transportation to their existing schools as boundary changes were phased in, unlike students pupil placing under Regulation 2230.16.  So if they want to treat grandfathered kids as transfers under Regulation 2230, they are going to have to revise that policy, since it sets forth specific reasons for transfers that wouldn't cover all the kids being grandfathered.

They are in way over the heads here.  As a PP noted, they bit off way more than they can chew.
