[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wolff put up a new resolution asking the the SSIMS/SCES decision be delayed and considered during the upcoming elementary school boundary study.[/quote]

Wolff's resolution was approved.[/quote]

Wait, really?  Did MCPS staff argue against it?  Was there any discussion about what this means for the MS/HS boundary options?   Do you know what time stamp on the board meeting video to look for to watch this? [/quote]

It's at 1:51.  Clearly all the Board members had prepped and agreed on it beforehand.  I suspect Taylor was only pretending to argue for the faster timeline at the beginning, or he would have argued harder (and twisted arms behind the scenes.)

You're probably right, but it was beautiful to watch when he read his resolution for an accelerated closure process and no one seconded him.

Nah, he actually had a really good argument for why it had to happen on this schedule (that it affects the boundary decisions in March) and would absolutely have pulled it out if he really wanted it to die.  I suppose he could have realized he lost after arguing against this behind the scenes and wanted to save face at the board meeting by not making it a big fight he wouldn't win, but I highly doubt he would have gotten unanimous disagreement from the board members if he was fighting this hard behind the scenes.  I wonder what changed in his calculations?[/quote]
