[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya'll need to wave the white flag, and accept whatever school the school board wants to send your kids to.

They received a resounding mandate last night to do whatever they want to do to your kids education (or lack thereof) however they want to do it, under any timeline, without grandfathering if need be.

They know that there will be zero consequences in the next election for rezoning anyone.

Read the tea leaves and save your energy.

What is: How to totally misread last night’s results for a thousand, Alex.

Now, in a couple of years if they clean sweep the school board elections, that would be a better signal.

Of course they will clean sweep the school board elections.

They know after last night that they have support to do whatever they want to do however they want to do it.

You all know you will vote them back into office no matter who runs, and they know it too.

Anyone who is fighting the rezoning is fairly delusional that their opinion matters to the school board.  They know and you know that they will either get reelected, or someone far worse/more extreme/more left than them will get elected, no matter which neighborhoods get rezoned.[/quote]
I don’t buy that for a second. There are areas that have successfully fought boundary changes through each turn of the map.  And don’t forget, the puppet masters of the school board is the Democratic Party, and margins statewide are much much closer.  Sure, maybe the bond passes 70-30 in Fairfax, but push too hard and vouchers statewide become a real possibility.[/quote]

There are still 3 more map revisions coming.

Map 5 is the last BRAC map.  Reid initially said that map 3 was no longer under consideration, but by the end of the WSHS meeting she said Map 3 was back on the table, so parents who successfully fought for revisions to the early maps, such as Hunt Valley, might be out of luck as changes are made to accommodate the Sangster split feeder that has an irrational hatred of Lake Braddock.

Map 6 will be Reid's changes and map 7 will be all the school board pet projects added into the maps, such as Sandy Anderson's Rolling Valley to WSHS/moving other neighborhoods out to accomodate the changes.  Other areas will get surprise rezonings in that round too.

There is no community feedback opportunity for Reids map 6 or the school board's map 7.  There is only public notice required.

If you think after last night that the school board fears any election backlash over unpopular rezoning, you are not paying attention.  They know that they or people more extreme than them will win in the next school board election,  so they have zero motivation to do anything but what they wanted to do when they first started revising policy 8130 under One Fairfax 2 years ago.[/quote]
Let’s ask San Francisco how that turned out.[/quote]
