Did they leave Reid Goldstein off on purpose?

This petition is ridiculous. [/quote]

The summary argument about how large Fairlington is - over 1500 voters on each side - diminishes any strength their position might have had in regard to splitting a community.  It's precisely the large civic associations and the large neighborhoods that are best for splitting because the smaller sections still have a large, cohesive community.  It is nothing like splitting Douglas Park or Alcova Heights.  Fairlington is in the league with Barcroft Apartments in this regard.

And nobody seems to look at the scenario for someone else's school.  This argues that it goes against all those boundary considerations (alignment, contiguity)  But look at the current proposal for Drew, for cryin' out loud.  It ain't going to be perfect for everyone, if anyone.  Doing the best we can overall for all KIDS - not their parents - is THE ONLY priority.[/quote]

I hate the splitting of one elementary school into three middle schools. It is just too much. Either fix that or give people the option to transfer. When you split into three there is inevitable one tiny cohort getting peeled off from the rest. We can figure out how to not do that. [/quote]

Amen to this! [/quote]
