The Glen Carlyn resident there last night was very loud and vocal about how against Kenmore they are. .

That lady is a nutter. She's the NIMBY of all NIMBY's. She's been busy for YEARS trying to block schools being built in that area. Her own reasons for objecting to a school are purely selfish, but there are some legitimate concerns (not hers) that other neighbors have about student safety with so many walkers in that area. It would take a lot to make this area safe enough for the current walking students as well new HS students who would be walkers. Frankly, I wish they'd address some of these issues now, and not wait for an accident to happen or another school to be built.

The nutter lady posted above, I think (I hope -- [b]please let there not be two of them[/b]). The loud person at last night's meeting was a man.

And I see how the new Kenmore HS could end up with an unbalanced demographic mix, but maybe this time the School Board will have grown a spine to deal with Arlington Forest parents.[/quote]

Sorry, I wasn't at the meeting but I knew that the nutter lady attended so I assumed it was she who was the vocal person. Guess she's got some recruits. Thing is, I don't necessarily disagree with her about Kenmore not being a good choice for a comprehensive "less than" HS, but I don't like her tactics or her motivation. [/quote]
