Anything to counteract the upcoming illogical boundary moves which are a bad solution to an undefined problem.

We still haven’t heard what problems we are actually solving, though we have heard that we are going to postpone solving some real problems because we want the changes to be comprehensive.[/quote]

This thread is 200+ pages.  You could start at the beginning if you cared about the issues supporters have raised, but you don’t, you just want to argue. [/quote]

I’ve read it, thanks for the suggestion, but no one has told us what we’re actually solving.

I hear overcapacity and under capacity, but the thresholds seem to fluctuate to preserve farms (see, eg, Timber Lane attendance island).

I’ve heard nonsensical claims that transportation costs matter, but no analysis has been done to determine whether those costs will increase or decrease, and I’m guessing it’ll be a rubber stamp exercise at the end of the review.

I’ve heard equitable access, but no one has said what that means. The BRAC, the very committee that is meant to be coming up with the maps has pleaded with the school board and FCPS to provide a definition, but none has been provided. If that’s a big factor, why the heck not?

Thru’s attempts to fix attendance islands created way more issues than it solved.

So yeah, I’m still wondering, wtf are they actually trying to accomplish? You can wave your hands and pretend that it’s been explained, but I’m calling out the school board emperor having no clothes.[/quote]
