[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone PLEASE ask these "pause the boundary process" people how they can possibly be supporting any proposal that leaves a brand new school empty next year while other schools are overcrowded?  People flip out when one school is at 83% and another is at 107%.  These people are proposing we leave a brand new shiny elementary school at 0%.  They're actually proposing that. And no, we do not need random extra space for DL, or whatever they're suggesting. We need permanent seats for kids.

Please someone call them on it.  I'm not on AEM, or I would do it myself.  [/quote]

Except that with the pandemic, the schools are not overcrowded like they were before.  I think it would have been better to do a comprehensive process that factored both proximity and demographics.  By freezing the current process and then lining up a comprehensive plan for 2022-23, schools like Abingdon and Claremont could be helped out a full year earlier.  I understand why the Board felt compelled to "use" Reed this fall, but I think it was a mistake.

In any event, its now decided.  I hope it doesn't turn out as poorly as I'm afraid it will.[/quote]
