[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this drama and the main thing they've done is create a ridiculous new Marshall attendance island.  Karl Frisch and Melanie Meren are such fools. Selfish, stupid, cowardly, preening idiots. [/quote]

Moving all of Wolftrap and greatly changing the makeup of Marshall was not a necessary move.  There are numerous neighborhoods impacted and all all buyers and renters in that area have known since moving in which schools they are assigned and that Tommy may loose some friends and make some new ones when he goes to middle school and high school.  [/quote]

If you look they are pulling 5 SPAs out of Marshall to Madison but 10 SPAs out of Kilmer to Thoreau.  So the bigger impact will be driving up the poverty rate at Kilmer and then making the Kilmer/Marshall pyramid substantially less attractive to UMC families.  Leaving one of the remaining wealthier areas as an isolated attendance island will also, over time, incentivize people in that area to go private, pupil place, and/or lobby for further boundary changes.

I think McElveen went to both Kilmer and Marshall.  Maybe he'll offer some amendments to undo some or all of these unnecessary changes. Or maybe Meren will pretend she hasn't been complicit in this nonsense and do that, although she'd been sending opposite signals recently (doesn't matter - she's utterly inconsistent). [/quote]
