[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else think they're going to drop the map on Friday at 5pm?[/quote]

No. They won't release it until Jan. 8 when Reid sends it to the board. Staff and the school board clearly don't want to hear from the community about this anymore. They're done.[/quote]

I understand the fatigue but it is due to the sheer incompetence of Thru Consulting, which came up with one set of flawed proposals after another.  And then you had Michelle Reid running around the county making deals on the side and promises they may or may not keep.

We’re all tired but they created this mess.  Usually disasters on this scale result in leadership changes, but it’s FCPS so Reid will probably get a raise or a bonus instead. [/quote]

The perfect example is the new high school.
Community that needs it wants a traditional high school, but they keep pushing special programs.  Crazy.  They think everyone is tied to aviation because it is near the museum--but people are really tied to the neighborhoods and schools are the focus for all the families with kids in school.

If they had set the boundaries and touted the future it would have had more positive results.  As it is, you are going to get questionable results.

Option A is logical by anyone who is objective--if they add all of Floris.

I cannot believe they are listening to the loudest voices.  I do not understand why.  [/quote]
Of course, loudest voices are strongly correlated to families who are in the crosshairs to be moved. Different areas across Fairfax have been vocal every time a new area gets screwed in a proposed map.

People who complain about the “loudest voices” are the same people who pretend that there is some silent majority that secretly supports upending kids for no reason. It’s transparent and you lose credibility when you make silly arguments like that.

The school board is right to listen to parents who advocate for their kids.[/quote]
