[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A recent Melanie Meren post:

"The Crossfield ES community celebrated the official completion of the school renovation that began in 2023! While there for the ribbon cutting, I remembered being in the Crossfield cafeteria many years ago and hearing parents’ questions about how the process would unfold. Principal Mark Granieri remarked today that the renovation went very smoothly, and I was so glad to hear that. While I thank our FCPS facilities and design teams, I do want the school division to shorten the amount of time it takes for a renovation.

While the darling musical performance by kindergarten students brought a smile to my face on the sunny day, for me, the event was overshadowed by the distress I’ve heard from many Crossfield ES families about the Superintendent’s proposed boundary scenarios for Skyview HS that would impact this elementary school. Like many residents, I believe that people who’ve participated in months of boundary-related community meetings in good faith feel they’ve been blindsided by the Superintendent’s recommendations that for this school in particular, create new split feeders. This has caused unnecessary distress. Approaching proposals for boundaries cannot be done cavalierly.

I appreciate the Superintendent changing course quickly and halting boundary work at elementary schools, allowing them to remain in place for the next five years. Thank you to everyone who showed up and spoke up."

Meren represents Hunter Mill.  She not only allowed, but facilitated, the last-minute creation of a new Kilmer/Marshall attendance island in Hunter Mill near Reston that separates one group of Kilmer/Marshall families from all the other families at those schools.  She has little credibility when it comes to acting in good faith or not approaching boundaries cavalierly.  Everything she does is based on "what's best for me" and "where are the most votes."  No one involved in the current Skyview discussions should indulge in the fiction that she'll act any differently this time.    [/quote]

I am not going to vote for her next time. [/quote]
