[quote=Anonymous]I hesistate to get involved because of the petty and nasty tone of this thread but I can't help myself.  I believe the Haycock "base" parents were so desperate, so blinded by their single-minded desire to do what they think they have to do to "save their school" that they cannot see Strauss, other school board members, and the rest of the issues before the SB objectively.  Strauss may have been on your side on this little battle, but she has shown over time that she is not a great advocate for most of her constituents most of the time (My kids are in other McLean schools) and routinely ignores parent opinion when it doesn't suit her agenda.  It's her way or the highway and she believes she knows best.  You may not have minded her tactics in this fight because it was to an end that you supported, but those of us watching closely over time, beyond your fight -- there are many examples, including the Cooper issue most recently -- have witnessed her lie, mislead, support measures that hurt her own constituents, or fail to advocate for improvements that would help us.  And again, you may not have liked Schultz's Pimmit proposal, but on the numbers issues, Schultz & Reed were completely right.  You should want SB members willing to challenge and direct staff, not be yes-men and women for them or apologists.  Those on the SB and others who say, oh projections change, etc., have either not followed the outrageous incompetency here OR simply want to push through changes they desire for policy reasons, numbers be damned.[/quote]
