[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they hate attendance islands more than they hate hordes of angry parents? Only time will tell. Stay tuned.

You don't think McNair families count?[/quote]

Sure they do, but they are already at Westfield, their choice. They aren't losing anything.[/quote]

They are losing adjacent communities with kids at Westfield.  If you have high school students, you would know that matters very much.

It would be one elementary school community more than 7 miles from the nearest community that goes to the same high school.  Do you not have any compassion for the kids?  Get real.[/quote]

I don't see the drama, sorry. Over 150 kids from McNair per grade all going to the same HS together, the HS they have been zoned to for many years and the HS their parents chose when they moved to their neighborhood. [/quote]

Unfortunately for you this does not align with Policy 8130, which the School Board just revised last year to specifically target attendance islands.  And you’d have even more upset McNair families now being surrounded by KAA families and isolated at Westfield than you’d have Westfield families upset about too many FARMS kids from Bull Run.

I guess we'll have to see how conflict adverse the SB is. Individual members were already caving at meetings on Thru proposals.[/quote]
