[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will be able to point to the new policy and say that they have to follow the rules, they were studying McLean all along and since the process wasn't finished the two schools have to be considered in the new policy. [/quote]

I can be indignant that the School Board didn't plan better and allowed McLean to get overcrowded, or expanded Langley when it was McLean that actually needed the addition.

I can be relieved that the Board is finally taking steps to address the overcrowding and, hopefully, balance the enrollments starting next fall.

What I won't do is assume the worst-case scenario merely because some right-wing groups make stuff up and think that might be a path to getting some R candidates elected to lower-level positions when they aren't competitive in other state and local contests.     [/quote]

I employ logic  and consider it very likely that the same board who wanted McLean to wait for their nuclear option---I mean, "comprehensive boundary review"  still has that same desire.

I read p.46 of the CIP and saw that it isn't a guarantee.

I read the amendment and saw that it considers McLean and Langley for adjustment without stating that the adjustment would only be between those schools.

I saw no proposed implementation date.

I have no reason to trust that the same people who wanted to keep McLean overcrowded and Langley underenrolled until the new policy passed that would prioritize demographics above all else (and tried to hide that fact)  are now suddenly acting in good faith.
