[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the feedback on pigeonhole from community meeting tonight is basically: don’t move my kids.[/quote]

I have no idea where Emerald Chase is but that community’s ability to game the system to get their responses to dominate the system is next level. [/quote]

Yes, they are.

Tonight's meeting was for a pyramid on the other side of the county, and the Emerald Crest flooded the system with hundreds of upvotes so their posts dominated the feedback.

They had more upvotes than affected families.

Did they use bots?

One of the elementary schools, I think one of the Greenbrier, tried this on the first round of meetings, and FCPS told them to stop so other pyramids could give feedback.  Greenbrier actually listened, and were very respectful of the other schools.

But the South Lakes Emerald neighborhood is just taking over.

It is really, really rude to do this to the other parts of the county that want to make their voices heard.

After seeing how they took over the meeting tonight at Robinson through some sort of bot or out of state families and friends giving feedback from a facebook request, I almost hope that Emerald neighborhood gets rezoned to where they don't want to go.

They were rude and selfish.[/quote]

Is that the area that would get moved from Westfield to South Lakes or somewhere else?  [/quote]

They were from somewhere in Reston according to their posts with hundreds of upvotes.

The meeting tonight was for the Region 4 schools.

Hunt Valley is the largest group getting rezoned, but there are several tiny neighborhoods where FCPS is trading a few streets from Silverbrook with a few streets from Sangster, a truly stupid rezoning if you know the area and the traffic patterns.  It is literally 5 to 10 kids per grade in those 2 neighborhoods. Those voice and their valuable feedback were completely drowned out, because they did not have enough numbers to be seen in the 300-400+ online upvotes from.the Emerald Chase families from Reston.  They even drowned out the WSHS/Hunt Valley families, who were quite numerous in attendance, because they took over online voting and completely prevented the aregion 4 families from having their feedback heard.

It was so, so selfish and rude.

They should be embarrassed by how they treated everyone else.[/quote]

That makes sense now. I was virtual and it seemed to be a few of us from WSHS but that neighborhood was overwhelming the whole system. Oh well. I left my comments and also commented on the map tool.

But I see every other meeting being like this too. [/quote]
