[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a new poster this morning and am so happy to see that others agree with my thoughts on Sandy at the meeting last night.

It has been so frustrating to reach out to her time and time again with no response.    The entire Boundary review was her pet project - specifically getting a few specific neighborhoods into WSHS.   Is this because that's where her biggest doners live? I don't know about that, but she has mentioned more than once that was her goal.

I am glad she hears that none of us want anyone moved out of WS, but then why is she moving people IN and demanding to move people out to make room for them.

I strongly disagree with the idea that these amendments aren't going to be made public until the vote.  That feels especially sneaky, I am hopeful I misunderstood and we will see them sooner rather than later.

Sandy and her posse need to go -- that includes the new candidate Tom Dannen.  They follow her blindly without asking the questions necessary to make decisions for the good of the community, not just Sandys pet project.

If anyone has any Sandy lore to help me understand her position, I would love to hear it.  She attended LBSS and lives in South County zone - why is she so pressed to screw with WS?

I think she lives in Crosspointe in bounds for Silverbrook - which is extra crazy because she could do a lot to advocate for her neighborhood. Silverbrook is always bursting at the seams at 110% capacity. She could have communicated with Dunne and Moon, who wanted the Korean immersion program at Halley if/when the Hagel Circle area was moved out. Silverbrook and Halley are literally in the same neighborhood about a 1.5 mile walk from each other on neighborhood streets and paths. I hate to say it but with Hagel Circle out, Halley might just be the lowest FARMS school in FCPS or amongst the lowest. There would be room to shift a few streets of Silverbrook to Halley to decrease Silverbrook’s population a bit and give it some breathing room, and without the low income neighborhood there, there would be far fewer complaints (again just keeping it real …) and they could probably have a Korean program there as well if it didn’t get too large. Instead she’s meddling at another HS … [/quote]
