[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really doubt there's anything as blatant as PP is implying.  In FCPS, at least, it's usually SB members being utterly self-serving (elevating the interests of their own communities and schools over everyone else) rather than explicitly corrupt.  [/quote]

A politician representing an area is supposed to advocate for that area[/quote]

There’s a difference between representing the district you were elected to serve and favoring your own neighborhood’s schools. [/quote]

That's so McLean. So want to be Langley, but aren't. So any decision not expressly pro McLean is ant-McLean. I don;t hear Herndon griping. I guess they don't have Langley envy like some...[/quote]

There’s no Langley envy involved in thinking Tholen made a poor decision (one of many) when she refused to accept the recommendation of FCPS staff to have Langley share some of the growth in Tysons.  As it turns out, most of the rising 9th graders from the Vienna single-family neighborhoods Tholen waited until the last minute to cherry-pick opted to attend McLean, not Langley. [/quote]

Lordy people who move to the areas zoned for McLean like the high school and their neighborhoods.

It's reasonable to be irritated with Tholen and everyone who voted with her on that last-minute change to the boundary process.[/quote]
