[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If FCPS had simply built the mythical Western HS years ago, instead of stringing everyone along, we wouldn’t be in the middle of this ridiculous boundary issue.  [/quote]

Disagree.  This is not about the crowded western schools--and that would not have helped the underperforming schools.[/quote]
DP. I think if the western school had been built then there wouldn't have been enough widespread issues left for the board to try this whole "let's do a comprehensive review of the whole county" thing they've pushed on us.  Now we're stuck with an every 5 year fight instead of "as needed" changes focused on actual problem areas and leaving everyone else alone.[/quote]

DP.  The comprehensive review isn't borne of a boatload of major problems.  It's borne of Karl Frisch's political judgment that offloading boundary recommendations on a third party consultant could help politically ambitious School Board members avoid accountability.  Wouldn't have mattered if there was a western HS; they'd still want to point to an outside consultant's recommendations for dealing with overcrowding in Tysons, at West Springfield HS, etc.

A bunch of random stuff like eliminating attendance islands that no one cared about got pulled into the study to make it look like a consultant was necessary, but it's ultimately all politics.  [/quote]

+1000.

Karl Frisch is a complete political slime-ball who cares not at all about your children.

He doesn’t even have children, nor does he want any.  He’s only using his school board position as a stepping stone to higher political office.[/quote]
