[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone posted earlier that Reid said that the scenarios had not be "vetted."  Does she mean that staff never looked at them to check for known issues?

What do these people get paid to do?

Hard to believe that Reid (who did not know about issues in Rt 1 corridor) is weighing in on boundaries and answering? questions.[/quote]

She was talking about the 4 maps they posted for the Western High School.[/quote]

Who created the maps?  Staff or THRU?[/quote]

And why are they showing maps to the public and getting no people all upset if they are not vetted? I swear she just says things to get people to calm down in the moment. As soon as someone is freaking out about a change she’s all “don’t worry that’s just a super drafty draft” regardless of whether that’s true. The school board must be beyond frustrated with her because then they have to clean up her mess. She is just telling everyone what they want to hear while they’re in front of her. I wouldn’t trust anything she says at this point. [/quote]

Why are they doing 7 revidions to the county wide rezoning maps, based on who complains the most on the previous map?[/quote]

More like who has the biggest tantrum. Some of these grown adults should be ashamed of themselves. [/quote]

💯 I can't believe the school board and Dr. Reid are so stupid that they think the people who make the biggest stink are actually the majority. They're not in most instances. In most instances, the majority of the school population is indifferent but the "active families" (meaning the wealthy ones) are the most vocal and have the resources to make their voices loud and their opinions heard. It enrages me that FCPS school board/admin hasn't figured this out yet.[/quote]

Why would it require extensive “resources” to make your voice heard? You’re basically claiming that FCPS should have a free hand to do whatever it wants, yet many of the proposals of its outside consultants have been ludicrous on their face.  [/quote]

+1. That PP is blowing smoke.  Families, rich and poor, don’t want to be moved.  Doesn’t take a genius to see that.[/quote]

Resources aren't just physical. It comes down to time and bandwidth to think and formulate a message. If you are poor and super stressed and just trying to get through each day, you don't have as much mental energy to think about who to contact and what to say to get your point across. You are oblivious if you don't understand this.[/quote]

It doesn’t change the fact that you’re trying to marshal some invisible army of supporters for whatever it is you favor here, which you haven’t even bothered to identify, by attempting to discredit those who actually take the time to get involved.  [/quote]
