[quote=Anonymous]"The argument is that a vote taken while active complaints are pending at both the IG and the state board of education creates a legitimacy problem that doesn't go away just because the vote passed. If the IG subsequently finds process violations or data irregularities, you've already implemented a permanent boundary change built on a flawed foundation. Unwinding that is exponentially harder and more expensive than pausing 30-60 days to get it right the first time."

If all it takes to delay a boundary study is the mere filing of an IG complaint, there would never be any boundary changes implemented. Boundary changes by definition will cause intense backlash against those affected by the boundary changes. MCPS can't be held hostage by frivolous complaints. Let's be honest - the 30-60 days is not how long an IG process takes from complaint to determination. Crown has to be filled by August 2027, and we can't have that hanging until every frivolous complaint is decided. Also, an IG wouldn't review the Taylor rec on the merits for "data irregularities." You're thinking you can get from the IG what you can't get from a court. [/quote]
