[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board "bought" passing grades, and less-awful failing grades, for GW and FCH middle schools by merging the failing school units into the passing ones.  That works one time, during the transition year, then the entire middle school complex statistically fails.  The cumbersome admin isues that flow from this are just huge.  The tremendous insult to GW parents will produce a political blowback.  This is the new school board.

I believe this was with full support (recommendation) of Interim Superintendent Crawley and current Central Office Administration, not just the ACPS Board.[/quote]

Crawley is an interim; he and Mann were just doing what three board members dictated.  They had to change the results of their own working group to come to this idiotic decision; they had previously recommended doing the opposite for GW.  And they acted against the wishes of the PTA and the citywide PTA board.  They claim that the GW teachers wanted to merge up, but they quoted only a summary of one informal meeting that not everyone was even invited to.  This was done to trick up numbers.  That's all.
