[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing was solved here. Schools are still overcrowded or now, possibly half empty.

They should have made it an AI/Robotics/Engineering magnet school. They would have had a full school and it would have drawn from all the other schools - with no arguing.

This is an epic disaster.[/quote]

The SB and Reid have failed the schools.  Having some schools between 75-85% capacity and others at over 105% when there is a new high school and plenty of space at other schools is irresponsible.  Decimating schools like Westfield and South Lakes to ensure the rich constituents are taken care of is just plain wrong and goes against the principles of education.  These schools will lose electives and teachers and continue on a downward spiral.  These redistricting decisions are so blatantly classist and racist.  Vote for a new SB folks.[/quote]
Democrat here who hates how left the school board is.

Your constant whining about classism and racism are what drives people straight into maga. Your views are not mainstream, even in the Democratic party.

If you think FCPS is racist, Then frankly you likely believe that everyone in the world is racist. Just absurd.[/quote]

DP.  It’s so obvious when a poster like you is coming from a place of extreme privilege that you want to preserve at all costs.  You really can’t understand that people at South Lakes and Westfield don’t want to see their schools gutted? [/quote]
I am not interested in social engineering the public school system into the ground in the name of equity. I think the skyview purchase was rushed and probably not well thought through.

But when someone comes on this board and whines about the far left school board being racist, it’s laughably absurd.[/quote]

They are far left in some of their statements and far right in some of their actions, especially those relating to boundaries, where for 18 years they’ve followed a consistent practice of only reassigning kids to schools that are similarly or higher rated.

That’s a practice you no doubt favor, to the extent you approve of any boundary changes, so you’ve concluded the best way to ensure it continues is to label the board “far left” and deny the board’s actions contribute to widening existing disparities among schools. [/quote]
