[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Realistically, the Democrats will retain at least 8-4 control of the School Board. I'd rather have someone like Tholen, who works well than others, than another SB member like Schultz and Wilson. They just seem to have knee-jerk reactions to oppose everything the other School Board members support, even when it's something as obvious as providing relief to an overcrowded high school.[/quote]

By all means.  We need more lemmings on the Board.  Ten is not enough.  And, FWIW, Schultz pointed out the problems with waiting for the boundary policy to be revised.  She was the one most actively challenging it.  And, there are other schools with capacity problems--including elementary,  This is not just a high school issue.

Schultz's positions on boundary issues have been confrontational, not helpful.  She only went after Brabrand for putting a halt to administrative boundary changes when she thought it would play well with the One Great Falls crowd.  No one thinks she cared about overcrowding at schools outside her district before then.

And when specific efforts were made to address the overcrowding at McLean, she objected.  Her biggest complaint was that Centreville was also overcrowded, which may be true, but (1) Centreville, unlike McLean, is scheduled for a major addition and renovation in the future; (2) there are no schools near Centreville with as much excess capacity as Langley; and (3) it's not like she ever proposed a boundary study to move Centreville kids to other schools (in fact, she was largely AWOL from the Board when the last CIP was adopted).  So lots of posturing, but nothing to show.

We don't really need Schultz 2.0 in Dranesville.  It's bad enough to watch Springfield suffer. [/quote]
