[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The TJ AAG that wanted a lottery is now attacking all the School Board members except the four who voted for a lottery.  The Coalition for TJ that wanted to maintain the status quo is bemoaning the demise of TJ. It takes a special skill set to make both groups unhappy, but that's FCPS these days.

When you parse this, the only "winners" are the pork-barrel members of the School Board from southern Fairfax (Anderson, Corbett Sanders and Derenak Kaufax) who desperately wanted to be able to tell people in their districts that now a few kids from Holmes, Whitman, and Key will be going to TJ.  It won't necessarily be many, and who knows if those kids will be White, Asian, Black, or Brown kids at this point, but they'll be able to tell their constituents they stuck it to other families at Carson, Cooper, Longfellow, and Rocky Run.  Since their agenda is based primarily on resentment towards the northern and western parts of the county, they'll see this as a victory, even if most are left scratching their heads as to whether all this commotion really accomplished much.

And then we have the recent numbers on a Mclean HS to Langley HS boundary change.  Numbers up the week before and excluded the TJ effect.  The incompetent fools and Brabrand/Platenburg also never administratively moved the Toll Brothers development from Spring Hill ES to Colvin Run ES.  Colvin Run is undercapacity and Spring Hill is it's usual Tysons hover. [/quote]
