[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On reflection, I think these new “top 10” lists are intended to prime families for boundary changes (“see the great things about your new school”). Don’t want the thread to get deleted as redundant of the longer thread but does seem like the most likely impetus. [/quote]

Yep.  And note - two of the schools most posters don't want to be rezoned to have nothing listed to brag about.  Very telling.[/quote]

Yeah but either does WSHS - which is one school many are scared of being transferred from.  
Read into everything if you must....[/quote]

WSHS just wants to be left alone, so they can keep being s neighbohood centered school where former WSHS students come bsck in droves specifically to teach at their community school, former students send their own kids, and empty nesters still engage in their neighbohood school because their kids went there and their grandkids will (hopefully) attend in a few years.[/quote]

Didn't hurt having the school facilities lead being in your neighborhood to change the boundary to be intact either did it? He was a selfish person who only cared about this neighborhood and decimated others.[/quote]

Every high school should be represented by one school board rep who is responsible for advocating specifically for the needs of the 3 or 4 high schools solely under her control.

We should never have a situation like we have now, where high schools have split representation between 3 or 4 different school board reps pulling in 3 or 4 different directions, just because Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Jeff McKay wanted to (unsuccessfully) gerrymander Supervisor Pat Herrity out of office.

School board district reps should represent the entire high school.  For example, one rep for Woodson, who will also be the single rep for 2 neighboring high schools.

The at large reps exist to represent big picture causes.  The school board reps should exist to advocate for and give a voice to specific schools and their needs.[/quote]
