[quote=Anonymous]I would rather see less money spent on building a better mousetrap (TJ) and more money spent on building a better house (FCPS).

It will not be easy for the School Board to take on that task because TJ boosters are politically active and returning TJ to its original, intended use will require boundary adjustments.  And TJ serves as a crutch.  No matter what the other challenges are within FCPS, the School Board can always point to TJ as evidence that "they must be doing something right."

But FCPS can't have it both ways.  It cannot be a school system that purports to care about equity and then operate a school that affords a very small percentage of students access to opportunities to which the overwhelming majority of students, including many who would take advantage of such opportunities if available, are denied.  To fail to take a hard look at the costs and benefits of operating TJ is to abdicate several of the School Board's most important responsibilities. [/quote]
