[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just called one of the school board reps from the area.

They said that closing Lee and making it an IB magnet is not even remotely in the plans right now.

They also said to do this would require tremendous amounts of rezoning and that nothing would happen without public input and boundary studies, that would take a very long time, even years, just due to the sheer number of schools that would need to be rezoned.

They also said there are zero plans to close Lee or any of the low performing high schools[/quote]

School Board members may or may not be aware of plans currently under development by Gatehouse staff and, even if aware of them, disinclined to share information about them until they are ready for prime time.  School Board members aren't known for being entirely transparent or honest about what's going on.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see this kept largely under wraps until after the School Board elections next year, and then see it start to get more publicity.

Sorry but fcps cannot just magically decree they are closing a high school, creating a new one and rezoning 20 or so elementary school feeders.

There is a process that is required to follow.[/quote]

Duh.

And that process more likely would begin during the first or second year of a School Board member's term, not the year before they are up for re-election.  [/quote]
