Look, I know that. I'm just trying to figure out how it happened. [/quote]

To answer your question, PP:  Yes (from a Henry parent).  Yes, yes, now we know that we were dumb, naive, should have got in a "better" writing.  [/quote]

I mean, I don't think you were dumb or naive, except perhaps to think that a county that has to provide schools for everyone would commit to keeping a certain school zone the same no matter what. [/quote]

Why not?  APS bends over backwards for some groups, and lies through their teeth to others.  The Henry community FOUGHT moving in the first working group.  Henry never wanted to move.  You PPs who say Henry parents just wanted a richer, nicer school are disgusting.  The first working group was disbanded because it wouldn't cave to APS's demands to move Henry.  And then APS cherry-picked members for a second working group (SAWG).   Yes, I know SAWG didn't vote on boundaries--that wasn't its job.  But APS sold the move as a domino pattern:  Henry moves to Fleet, Montessori moves to Henry, Drew becomes neighborhood (because that was the right thing to do), and HB gets rezoned to Drew and some of Oakridge gets zoned to Drew, and Oakridge is no longer bursting at the seams.  Sounds great, right? Check the notes--this is exactly what Chadwick said in 2016.  Then, last spring/summer, the new proposed boundaries come out and Henry is trying to figure out what happened.  It's naivety, pure and simple. [/quote]
