[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they had done this properly and stuck to objective standards, this could have been settled months ago.  And, with a lot less angst.

In the past, SB members were always non-committal to neighborhoods, while at least pretending to listen.  I never recall an earlier superintendent making promises or even getting involved.  Staff was involved, but we never saw the superintendents.

It was mostly SB members doing the wheeling and dealing, but they were careful not to make promises.

Reid promised Walney Oaks.  Somehow, they were taken totally out of the equation.  And, those final scenarios did not include most of Crossfield.

I don't see them changing it now, but the School Board could if they wanted to do so.  I don't think they will.

I still wonder if Kyle McDaniel and Melanie Meren will join together at the last minute to strike some sort of deal with everyone else to swap Crossfield and Fox Mill. They both seem pretty adamant about putting Crossfield at Skyview and keeping Fox Mill out.[/quote]

The RIO parents have done a fine job of being really, really loud about not wanting to move and the FMES have been consistent in wanting to move.I would be surprised if this gets shifted. Moving FMES is politically easy and doesn't put most of the school board at risk. It is less about moving Fox Mill and more about not moving Crossfield. Crossfield families have been very loud about not wanting to move. They need numbers at Skyview and Fox Mill families have been supportive of moving. SLHS doesn't have the same voting power as Crossfield so Fox Mill moves. [/quote]

Right. In the slides, they pointed out that the Fox Mill area was one of the only ones that were totally green in favor of moving to Skyview.

There is no need to upset the apple cart here, if you are a SB member. They don't care about the downstream effects on South Lakes or Westfield.[/quote]
