[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they using feedback from these meetings? At the one tonight, most of the people in the room were talking about WSHS, which was the closest to Robinson because that was the meeting for our pyramid. But the online voting were almost exclusively about Emerald Chase. The Thru consulting guy at the meeting said this was the opportunity to allow the public to provide feedback and the best feedback would rise to the top. But doesn't this now mean that every part of this county which has an issue with these maps will need to figure out how game the system for each of these meetings and have a bunch of people on laptops trying to drive up their concerns to get Thru to pay attention? This seems so messed up. [/quote] It worked for Langley and the FairFACTS families. Don't hate on Emerald Chase cause you can't play the game. [/quote] You guys were rude, ignorant and selfish. And you took away the voice of people in that pyramid. The Langley and Fairfacts did not do what you did to take away the voice of other schools in the district. In fact, the Fairfacts and Langley folks were generous and helpful to other neighborhoods across the county to help them organize to get their voices heard. The Emerald Crest families were behaving like selfish jerks.[/quote] It's EMERALD CHASE, sad West Springfield lady. Sorry you don't understand how to organize. [/quote] How would you feel if all of the rest of the area decides to organize to flood the rest of the meetings with posts saying that rezoning Emerald Chase to Westfield is the best rezoning choice FCPS could make? [/quote] If you look at their HOA page, you can see they are organizing to attend the Chantilly meeting - highly recommend organizing people from other regions to flood them out there. FYI, this neighborhood is trying to game the system. Please look at the instructions they sent to their entire HOA here: https://www.emeraldchase.org/p/BOUNDARY-REVIEW https://www.emeraldchase.org/p/BOUNDARY-REVIEW[/quote] A simple solution would be for one person at each of the remaining meetings to create a suggestion asking that all Emerald Chase feedback get moved to their Region meeting and removed from other Region meetings so everyone's voices are heard, then have everyone online vote for that one post. You would lose 1 of the 5 feedbacks, but better to lose one than to lose all 5 to Emerald Chase.[/quote]
