[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was quite a scene at Kennedy tonight. At first, MCPS team tried to shut down general Q&A after their presentation by attempting to break parents to small groups. That didn’t go well… After a lot of loud complains from parents, they reluctantly allowed Q&A. I hope MCPS has the courage to keep that protest scene in their recording. The general sentiment of the Q&A was frustration, to say mildly. One community member of the design team said that the regional model was developed not thanks to their inputs but despite their inputs. What a shame to MCPS. Time to organize seriously against this madness.[/quote]

I was there tonight. Parents made their voices loud and clear and they were VERY UNHAPPY with MCPS and its program analysis.

No one even talked about the boundary study. Almost all of the ire was about the program analysis. MCPS's attempts to contain and silence parents did not go over well and did not work.

Board members Laura Stewart and Karla Silvestre were in attendance. This should inform their votes on this program proposal.[/quote]

was your impression that people in attendance were largely from Kennedy?  I can imagine that Kennedy people were upset with losing the ability to lottery out of the school in large numbers.[/quote]

There were a good number of people from Kennedy, Einstein, Wheaton and Northwood. Basically the DCC community.[/quote]

I wonder why Blair isn't present in these discussions.[/quote]
