[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't you parents just be satisfied with what you have?  Why all the angling and scheming?  This is nonsense.  You have lost sight of the big picture.   [/quote]

I think I am now in the camp of shutting down TJ.  It is just too divisive now.  [/quote]

It's just a symptom of how the clowns on the School Board have made everything divisive and inefficient.  While I understand your reaction, the better response is to replace the board, not eliminate the school.  [/quote]

then the NAACP sues (they were ready to if a change wasn't made) and you go through this all over again. Just closing the school is the easiest solution [/quote]

Close the school?? After a much awaited and awesome increase in URM admissions?  The optics would be horrible — something straight out if the 1950s deep south.[/quote]

Unless they can show that the kids admitted were not, in fact, FARMS or black/Hispanic, I think you are right.  The school board should absolutely request an analysis of the number of kids that changed from regular to FARMS during the past school year and same with ethnicity.

The time to close the school was last year.  That ship has sailed.  The best possible idea now is to change it to an acadmey.  It makes sense given the demand (there are over 1000 kids on the waitlist!) and how other VA governor schools operate.  [/quote]
