[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need the school board members to stay out of boundaries so they can be redone objectively instead of politically/catering to the loudest voices. There isn’t enough money to just keep adding capacity at favored schools (not to mention ignoring other schools).[/quote]

Were school board members simply more enlightened roughly 15- 20 years ago when the South Lakes HS boundaries were redone? Why is that much harder to do these days? [/quote]

The Hunter Mill rep on the School board at the time was from Reston/South Lakes.  He fought very hard to get kids from other schools reassigned to South Lakes.

So he pulled it off, but there was a lot of bitterness about the process and later School Board members are more interested in their future political careers and aren’t as willing to take the flak.

Also a school like Lewis hasn’t had a similar champion on the School Board.    The Lee/Franconia member for the last decade or so was from Edison.  So is the new one. [/quote]
