[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From start to the finish this process has been a disaster.  Some of it was the Board's doing but a lot of it was the consulting company.  Thru consulting is a joke and in the end they stole money from FCPS and delivered a crap product.[/quote]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't think it was Thru's fault. They were handed a total mess and a list of tasks to accomplish that were counter to what local communities wanted. And so they produced maps that made sense on paper (or their mapping system), but just caused more problems in those communities. I seriously doubt they made a profit on this project given the time invested and the number of community meetings they were forced to attend, which required travel costs as they are out of state.

I'm just really grateful that the BRAC members were able to get Gatehouse staff to listen to the communities' concerns and halt a lot of unnecessary and wasteful changes. And a lot of that was because of the countless hours that a lot of us across the county spent writing on forums like this, going to community meetings, meeting with school board members etc. It's been a LOT. This latest map is a massive victory for a lot of us because we were able to eliminate changes that would have really hurt a lot of families across this county. Of course, there's still time for the school board to mess it up and screw people over.

I blame the school board and Reid for this mess. All of it. School board members didn't run on boundary changes when they were being elected but the minute they got into office, this was priority number one. It's been a total disaster and they own all of it.[/quote]
If you read one post today, let it be the one above.

The school board owns ALL of this mess and waste of the last couple of years.[/quote]
