[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's the Arlington Way:  Talk.  Talk some more.  And then some more.  Make a bad decision.[/quote]

I wish to offer an amended version: 
It's the Arlington Way: Hold committee meetings. Talk.  Talk some more.  And then some more. Get committee to make a recommendation. Then the Supt. makes the same bad decision he planned to make all along, regardless of said committee.[/quote]

Ain't that the truth.  Remember too how the Facilities Committee recommended that APS and the County Board have a joint committee with two representatives from each board to come together and pool land for schools and the county?

And the Superintendent and County Board said, uh, thanks but no?

Superintendent Murphy is just going to do whatever the hell he wants to do.  How on earth do we get rid of him?[/quote]

It was the county manager that said no, not the superintendent. (This one, at least, is not on Pat.) And parents should be livid about it. PA big group of people, including a fair number of very knowledgeable APS volunteers, spent a year working to develop a process to bring together schools and the county to when some people want parks and some people want schools and some people want affordable housing, and the county board said "no thanks, we'll just appoint a separate five person blue ribbon panel with an unclear mandate who will maybe meet in secret to just tell us what we want to hear." It is complete BS. The public school pressure the superintendent, county manager, and both boards to do what all these committees recommend or justify why they are not, otherwise what the hell is the point. [/quote]
