[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone tell me why they are focusing on boundaries so much when they could be paying more attention to the schools that most need renovations or additions?

My understanding is they are wasting a lot of money on expanding under enrolled schools (for example in Herndon) and even a new school that isn’t needed in Dunn Loring?!?

If they were scrutinizing these expenditures more carefully wouldn’t some of these boundary changes be unnecessary?  I’m not against boundary changes if they are truly necessary but it feels like they are using our kids to cover up their mistakes.

We regret moving to Fairfax and will not be voting for any of these School Board members again.[/quote]

This current School Board is not the kne that gave Langley, Oakton, Madison, West Springfield, and West Potomac costly and large expansions and renovations. That was the work of many School Boards before this one, when conservative and moderate representatives were on the Board and let the taxpayer waste happen anyway.

Boundaries are the cheapest option, not another renovation and expansion that will cost half a billion as the work on Centreville HS will soon show.[/quote]

I think you are trying to rewrite history, and not very convincingly. Democrats have controlled the School Board for decades; it was members like Karen Corbett Sanders and Karen Keys Gamarra responsible for the expansions of West Potomac and Madison (their own schools); and the few moderate or conservative members were powerless to stop them.

If you really believed the current School Board was paying more attention they would have scaled back the Centreville expansion and canceled the expensive Dunn Loring boondoggle this year. They aren’t, because they don’t care one whit about efficiency, but they are willing to trot out that notion to justify boundary changes (while continuing to screw some communities) to advance their left-wing agenda.[/quote]
