[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or people could have different reasons for wanting different outcomes. You are not going to convince the RIO parents that Skyview will be great. You are not going to convince the people who want the shorter commute that Oakton is worht the longer drive. Someone is going to be disappointed by the outcome.

Email, call, write the school board and let them know how you feel. Attend meetings and voice your opinion. You are not changing anyones mind on this site.

And herein lies the problem. The school board wants to take feelings into account instead of just making a decision based on logistics. If someone is going to be unhappy either way, might as well make decisions that make the most sense financially and logistically. [/quote]

What you deem as making most sense differs from others, there are different metrics that can be used. What you have in your control is letting the School Board and Reid know what you think is important and why and expressing what you think makes sense. They will make a decision based on what they hear and balance that with their own internal values.

You control what you tell the powers that be and how you do so. Going back and forth on this board is not going to accomplish anything other then ramping up your blood pressure. Email your reps, attend the meetings you can attend. Do what you can do.

You think the logistics make most sense because that is the answer that gives you the answer that you want. Other people have different metrics. Advocate for what is important to you but the cyclical back and forth on this site is not going to get you what you want. If you think that people are not sharing their feelings with the board because they are afraid of speaking out, you need to figure out how to help tthem get over that if it is important to you.[/quote]

Spare us the lecture. We’re all past the “trust the process” BS by now.  [/quote]
