[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only are these Farmland families trying to speak for VM and WW, they're speaking for Ashburton and Wynngate families. How do those families feel about Taylor’s recommendation for WJ? They are the families that should be asking questions about building utilization and demographics of their building, not Farmland/Luxmanor families.[/quote]

I personally don't think boundary should be decided based on voting by all communities. BOE job is to make decision what's best over all by keeping negative and positive in mind. I can clearyl see positive in balancing FARMS and I see no negative in doing it when schools are less than than miles away. Now I may be missing something so stakeholders should present negative and positive both. [b]Goal should be to get the best possible boundary keeping FAA policies in mind.

Fantastic post here. Bold part should be the goal for BOE, everything else is noise.[/quote]

All the parents want stability and proximity. Of course that is what is easier for our families. Taylor just threw up his hands and said oh well I guess nobody wants to balance demographics. But our school system is not and should not be a direct democracy. These are complex issues and final.decisions should be made by people who are looking at the big picture, not based on squeaky wheels and provincialism. Our elected officials who are supposed to represent the people agreed on a policy that demands the consideration of demographics. There are good reasons for this that are based in real research involving real kids in Montgomery County. [/quote]

"I want this or I want that" shouldn't be the reason to decide boundaries. There are very good reasons to keep 4 factors in FAA policies. It benefits students. Change is scary for many families but change is going to happen anyway. It's best to make changes which benefits students.

Just talking about 4 factors but then simply ignoring it seems wrong.
