[quote=Anonymous]It's sad to look at the agenda for tonight's meeting and see how rushed and incoherent some of the School Board member motions are relating to TJ.

For example, Tholen and Pekarsky have an amendment to make sure that the top 1.5% of kids at every middle school in FCPS are "eligible for admission" to TJ, but what does that even mean?  Does it mean they get slots, or just make it through an initial round of screening, or can just apply like any other kids with the minimum qualifications?

And Keys Gamarra has a follow-on motion that is one big run-on sentence that includes concepts like "adequate progress on diversity," even though the main motions bend over backwards to emphasize that the new admissions process, whatever it is, must be "race-neutral."  So how do they assess what "adequate progress" might be if the new process explicitly disclaims any race-based targets?

McLaughlin was right - Brabrand rushed this through and now they are all confused and pointing fingers in every which direction.  FCPS is a shit show. [/quote]
