[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As Republicans go, Karloutsos is not the worst, but it's disappointing to see how she now traffics in the same dog whistles as the rest of them.[/quote]

Dog whistles?  Pat Hynes and Janie Strauss were blowing bull horns.  Loud and clear.  They just did not realize that they were being heard outside their little cabal.

"Cabal"?  LOL.  Soon we'll be hearing from the Rs about how George Soros must be involved.  [/quote]

Really?  Sounds to me like it fits.  The plot was to change the boundary policy and start making changes with little community input.

1: the contrived schemes of a group of persons secretly united in a plot (as to overturn a government)

Yes there are schemes and skullduggery in a county wide school division.  Look no further than the bond referendum.  Undercapacity and overcapacity.  There is absolutely no justification for West Potomac addition and that was verified by the Magisterial District Members, Dan Storck-D Mount Vernon and Jeff McKay-D Lee.  No Republicans involved in that flagrant waste of money and limited resources.  It's not for Amazon nor is it because of some mysterious need that never materialized for military families as purported by Corbett Sanders-D.

On the Ardavan Mobesheri thread.  Big plus to him that he's even willing to engage with anybody and online on this junk.   That makes 2 elected people on the BOS and 1 school board candidate.  The open capacity that exists now in eastern Fairfax County is so ludicrous that FPAC suggested putting in a magnet school:
[i]FCPS dashboard has Madison 2018-19 program capacity at 2112 and the CIP has design capacity after the addition at 2400.  Max increase 288.  Sept 2019 enrollment was 2272.

The real surprise on 2019 bond referendum capacity enhancements is West Potomac - that goes up to 3000 after the addition adding 772.  Mount Vernon + West Potomac have a surplus now and if the addition existed it would be over 800.

All those numbers are no spin-just objective info on resource stewardship. [/i]

Then go to Western Fairfax County.  Did any candidates or current school board members or board of supervisor candidates or currently in office actually tell groups of parents, constituents at meet and greets or back to school nights, anywhere that FCPS plans to build a high school on Hutchison Park?  I don't mean select small groups or individuals or FCPS administrators.

There is major need for a new high school in Western Fairfax County.  Was this something that just occurred?  No.  County comprehensive plans and CIP's show the future need for an Oak Hill area HS and/or a site in north Reston.  Pick a decade.  These documents exist.  Since anything showed up on such documents Carson was built and operational.  That's a middle school so where's the high school?  Fairfax County sold the land zoned for a school to the Saudis :  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/with-saudi-school-headed-to-herndon-future-of-mt-vernon-site-up-in-the-air/2015/12/07/07bf9b6e-9d0f-11e5-bce4-708fe33e3288_story.html

So the old Mount Vernon HS site becomes a community center - where's  the Reston special tax district treatment by this county? People in the Town of Herndon also get 2 property taxes-- Town and County.[/quote]
