[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS claimed they're doing a District-wide rezoning, so why shouldn't "Region 5" be able to suggest changes anywhere in the County?
But, as they've always done, they wire the results based on SB/staff-defined criteria and processes - Langley can't be considered in the South Lakes redistricting because it's not on the list.  Emerald Chase has to move from Floris because Lees Corner's not on the list.  Per the process, you're only allowed to answer our questions.  Per the process, we get to mess around with the maps between every session and no maps are final until the SB approves them...[/quote]

Because the pyramid reps were explicitly told to advocate for and give a voice to their own pyramids.[/quote]

But Fairfacts Matters just publicized the one recommendation, not all of the Region 5 recommendations.

If one recommendation was to move Forestville to Herndon and a second was to move the Westbriar island to Colvin Run and then Cooper-Langley, they could be related proposals advocating for Region 5 families now at Westbriar-Kilmer-Marshall.

They really ought to publish all 10 of the recommendations that the BRAC reps from each region submitted. [/quote]

Really reaching to justify a trash priority here. Just give it up, it was a dumb, indefensible priority.[/quote]

Nope, won't give it up.  They should publish all 10 of the priorities that the BRAC representatives from each region provided.  Then we could see whether it was a stand-alone, gratuitious "trash" priority or one of several related proposals intended to advance the interests of someone in Region 5.

There should be more transparency into the BRAC recommendations, just as there should have been more transparency into the earlier Thru Consulting proposals (some of which changed a lot in May and June with no clear explanation).  [/quote]
It was presented as one of the regions top 3 priorities. They were allowed to list up to 10 priorities/requests and asked to present their top 3. For the five pyramids being represented, moving a school from a pyramid they didn’t represent to another pyramid they didn’t represent was one of their communities top 3 priorities? Really?[/quote]
