[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FairFACTS Matters posted tonight that they’d met with Region 5 representatives on the BRAC who agreed to withdraw their (already DOA) proposal to move Forestville to Herndon but the explanation for why the recommendation was made in the first place was unclear.

Reading between the lines it sounded like someone from Marshall who was upset about the Thru Consulting proposal to move some kids who can walk to a Region 5 school to another school somehow concluded it had something to do with overcrowding at Langley, but it wasn’t spelled out.  It really makes you think that Thru has withheld so much requested information from the BRAC members that some end up drawing really odd inferences on their own.  This process is so, so flawed.

EXCUSE ME, why does "just a Facebook group" have this much influence? PP is saying, "oh they're just a Facebook group" but here they are negotiating with members of the BRAC to change their opinion on things. Would "just a Facebook group" really be able to do this? NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.[/quote]

Yeah, God forbid they meet with some people on the BRAC who clearly were misinformed about non-existent overcrowding at Langley, which they'd mistakenly concluded had something to do with a ill-conceived boundary change affecting a Region 5 school (likely Marshall), educate them on the facts, and mutually agree that a prior BRAC proposal should be withdrawn.  Sounds like a real horror show (/s).  [/quote]\\

YOU are missing the point. You can't claim they're just a Facebook group when they're meeting with BRAC members and convincing them change their proposals. Which one is it? Influential group of people or just a random Facebook group? [/quote]

I agree with both sides here.  What bothers me is that there could be similar issues all over Fairfax County and people are not aware and able to step in and correct it before it gets institutionalized.
Honestly, I don't think the recommendation would have had any impact.

I kind of think this was the driver to the school board and the Great Falls people organized and saved their boundary.  All neighborhoods do not have that kind of impact.  This happened during the South Lakes boundary study, too.  Strauss would let no one touch Langley kids.

And, I have always thought that as long as Langley was not overcrowded that FCPS should leave well enough alone.  But, the strong protest against the KAA purchase has made me realize that their concerns did not spread to the needs of others.[/quote]

Your last paragraph is so incredibly petty.

And we all know you are the poster who refuses to accept that people having questions about the purchase doesn’t mean that people are against it. We see your agenda for what it is.[/quote]
