[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be voting against the school bond, too. There are schools like Lee and Mount Vernon that have space, but FCPS is expanding other schools that are overcrowded. It's a waste of money. What needs to happen is redistricting![/quote]

That's the biggest issue. Re-districting is so unpopular. Look at this thread for example. People are clamoring for a new school, but still pushing away from the idea of a large scale redistricting.

Honestly, I support the bond. I also support redistricting. I think you need both and what we're doing is cutting off our nose to spite our face.[/quote]

Apples and oranges.  You seem to be making up arguments that a new school would have to be accompanied by a county-wide redistricting, when FCPS has repeatedly opened new schools in the past without doing so.

I don't want to pay for or send my kids to monster-sized high schools, so a protest vote to send a message that FCPS needs to revisit its capital spending program is not cutting off my nose to spite my face.  It's a message for them to go back to the drawing board and come up with something better.      [/quote]
