[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board needs to be honest.

If they weren't so committed to saying things like "boundary policy is 30 years old and hasn't been revised" when it's already on its seventh version (they are working on 8)

If brabrand could say "one fairfax" to parents when supposedly clearing things up,  they would be better off. [/quote]

I think the crux of their comments was that they hadn’t taken a hard look in a long time at whether the considerations when making boundary adjustments in current Section IX of Policy 8130.7 are still fit-for-purpose. There are 14 considerations set forth, including “the socioeconomic characteristics of school populations,” but recent boundary changes have highlighted some factors and completely ignored others, and some factors are in conflict with others.  It seems like an appropriate thing to re-examine.

As for Brabrand, his Back-to-School message from late August emphasized FCPS’s commitment to equity.  Apparently he can’t win with you people: either he mentions equity and “One Fairfax” too often or not enough. [/quote]
