That survey is the biggest piece of non-substantive fluff. Without major personnel changes all of this is meaningless.

But congrats to the marketing/consulting firm that's about to make 7 figures.[/quote]

Its a first visioning step, not a blue print at this point.

And its about planning for high school capacity, not about reforming the system.   Which maybe should be done, but is up to the school board, which is up to the voters.  Maybe you should run?  [/quote]

Right.   Because in Alexandria, unless you run for school board, you have no right to be angry about the schools.

And BTW, where in this alleged survey is there a single question about capacity?   There isn’t one.  The “capacity” decisions were already made last year, with no disclosure and no real open input.  This is just window dressing to justify the decision, after the fact.  Trump would be proud.  [/quote]

You have the right to dance a jig and spit three times to make it rain, if you want to.

I myself have little patience for people who complain on anon message boards. Alexandria is a small city. Its quite possible to get involved.  Find a school board candidate who agrees with you and support them. If there are none, and you know how to fix things, run yourself, yes.   Otherwise I tend to think that maybe you don't have any better ideas, the school board may actually be doing its best given the situation, and its just easy to say "someone smart would fix it, they must be dumb".

As for capacity, it is pretty clear new seats are needed.   That is NOT something they are asking you.  By learning more about the desired experience, it can guide them in planning for how to provide the capacity. [/quote]
