[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board should draw the boundaries now, there is no need to wait. They are waiting because they want the opt in numbers. [/quote]
This is exactly why they waited. Without sports and other programs that the rest of the county has, they knew they'd have to allow opting out. They were afraid if they set the boundary and allowed opting out they might not get the full 1000 kids and the effort would look like a failure. By keeping the boundary ambiguous they have a larger opt-in pool the first year or two and can tout how they got so many students that they had to turn people away.  
It makes the school board look good (or at least covers them) at the expense of making the decision hard on Fox Mill and Crossfield parents who don't know where their kids' friends and younger siblings will go to school.[/quote]

This is spot on.  The mental and physical gymnastics that have gone on to get this school off the ground next school year are all to protect the piss poor leadership that jumped into this purchase without doing their due diligence.  They are already saying that it will cost 60M for renovations and if they are already admitting that I bet it’s going to be twice that when it’s all said and done.  It would
make much more sense to wait until the following school year to open.  Then the boundaries could be set and the renovations could be well on their way.  This will be a financial and logistical disaster.  Can’t wait to watch.
