[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, let’s anonymize the question to remove her name: how can a person claim to “represent Herndon pyramid PTAs”? What does that process look like? Were there votes for each of the PTAs? Just trying to understand how this woman thinks she speaks for all of us?[/quote]

I've no idea.  I did google her name and found that she had attended an FPAC meeting a couple of years ago, I think--as public--not member.  She said she had kids at Herndon Middle and High and was concerned about the facilities being in bad repair.
What time did she speak?[/quote]
She was one of the earlier speakers. What is the remedy for this? It seems misleading for her to say that she represents all of the PTAs in the pyramid.[/quote]

What do you mean “remedy”? What harm did you suffer?  Doubt her comments had any impact at this point. You can sign up and testify on the 22nd if you want to go on the record that she doesn’t represent your PTA.  [/quote]

Good question.  Not a Herndon parent, but it seems to me that some people think they speak for everyone and they don't.

If they really want to know, do a survey.  But, do they really want to set boundaries for schools based on popularity.

Oak Hill here.  Love Chantilly, but can see the writing on the wall.  Many/most would likely wish to stay at Chantilly.  But, anyone with common sense knows it is unlikely.  But, there are also very good reasons for Crossfield to go to Western.  Savings on distance,buses,safety, etc. Oakton is also at capacity and new development in the area. Why do some at Crossfield get a say when many of the reasons to go to Western are just as strong as for Oak Hill.

If they would just set the boundaries and develop a good, strong traditional school--which it should be, if Reid stays out of the way with her special programs--more people would be supportive.
This could be a great school.[/quote]
