[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I think: they will hardly change the maps we have already seen other than fixing whatever obvious mistakes were pointed out. This is why they don't care that there is a round of meetings in September. They were just telling us the original maps were very rough drafts because they were tired of hearing from people freaking out about them. They do. not. care. about our input despite what they are saying. [/quote]
I figured they’d front load the meetings with the pyramids that have minimal recommended changes. So it’s surprising to see West Springfield HS with one of the early slots when Thru has already announced they’re going to explore different options for addressing capacity, since the HVES split feeder was challenged. What is the point of addressing that community without options to discuss beforehand?

It’s obvious that they recognized the tight timeline for meeting with every pyramid, coupled with scheduling challenges with reserving meeting space. They’ve been chewing on data crunching all summer. It took months to filter and publish feedback. Does anyone think there will be any meaningful changes from the first set of meetings before the new drafts are released less than two weeks later. It’s a check mark next to the 8130 Policy to alleviate some school board members “concern” with the process. [/quote]

West Springfield doesn't have any meetings scheduled yet.

That early spot on September 16 is for West [i]Potomac[/i] NOT West [i]Springfield[/i]

FCPS appears to be avoiding meeting with the West Springfield pyramid.  In spite of WSHS having some fairly significant changes proposed, FCPS has not held a single meeting with the community, not even the school board rep holding small community meetings.

The only pyramids with scheduled meetings are Justice, West Potomac and Oakton.

Do any of those pyramids have anything more than minor tweeks?[/quote]
