[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are predictions by board member on how they will ultimately vote to approve or not approve boundary changes proposed by the superintendent: approve as proposed, approve after making amendments, not approve?[/quote]

I've followed this fairly closely and I couldn't answer that question, since Reid's recommendations have not been made public.

There were definitely things in Scenario 4 that, unless cured, seem like they'd lead some board members to vote against the package.

But you've now got an 11-person board (Braddock seat is vacant) with six members (Sandy Anderson, Seema Dixit, Karl Frisch, Robyn Lady, Kyle McDaniel, and Marcia St. John Cunning) who'll likely be rubber stamps, either because they are party hacks who need to declare this botched review a "success," are tired of it, or want to see a particular change go through, even if some of the other changes are shit. [/quote]

That's exactly why that vacant seat will be so important.  That 'bloc' makes some really boneheaded decisions. The guy running for the Lake Braddock open seat ,Tom Dannan, was endorsed by every single person mentioned in the 'bloc' and not endorsed by any of the more rational and independent thinkers on the board. [/quote]

Yes, it's very clear that, if Tom Dannan is elected, he'll quickly align himself with the School Board members who don't think independently and tend to vote as a bloc because they want to put on a happy face and pretend FCPS is being well run.

His opponent's name is Alexa Krezel and she has endorsements from others who've tended to ask more questions and be an occasional thorn in the side of Michelle Reid, Karl Frisch, and now the awful Sandy Anderson.  All her endorsements are from Democrats, but she's got fewer endorsements from current School Board members (just Ricardy Anderson, McElveen, and Dunne).  [/quote]
