[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dunne’s big shtick originally was that he wanted to eliminate all trailers and modulars, and move kids into under-enrolled schools in southeastern Fairfax, but he doesn’t understand that many people prefer them to getting redistricted.  In any event, the Thru proposals took modular seats into account in calculating capacity, so they aren’t intended to get kids out of modulars.

Now Dunne is encouraging the people who don’t want their kids in schools with modulars to turn on their neighbors and propose brand-new boundary changes that Thru and the BRAC haven’t proposed.  If that happens, it will be chaos and this sordid process will drag out even longer.

All they really should be focusing on now are Coates and boundaries for the new western high school, but they are too befuddled to figure that out. [/quote]

+1. They are a couple of days from the second to last set of maps being released and don’t even know what they are doing with KAA. It’s amateur hour.

And when they change boundaries to accommodate KAA, it’s going to be insane. A couple board members have made it clear that there won’t be grandfathering for that school. Imagine being a 9th grader this year who is about to get yanked out of his/her school for KAA. [/quote]

Well that’s sort of insane. Why wouldn’t there be grandfathering? I thought there was full grandfathering when South County opened, kids could elect to stay at Hayfield if they were already going there. [/quote] The grandfathering usually covers rising juniors and seniors. Since new high schools frequently start with just freshman and sophomore classes and then at a new class behind them the next year. I assume this is how they will do it. So current sophomores and juniors would be rising juniors and seniors next year and would stay at their current school. So, in a sense there is grandfathering. [/quote]
