[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighborhood has been redistricted 3 times, according to neighbors.  It happens.  Starr just doesn't want to consider it because he is hostage to the Churchill/Whitman/Wootton parents who have successfully pushed for new schools in those clusters at the expense of the rest of the county.  It's not just unfair, its a disgrace.   [/quote]
The decisions on the order of building takes so much time that all of the decisions you're referring to really occurred before Starr even arrived.  Sure, the final budgets were approved on his watch, but when the planning commission has ordered the priority of which facilities need to be replaced or expanded, they aren't just going to reshuffle the deck because some of the outdated facilities happen to have lower capacities and strong demographics.  All of the W district schools being replaced are deserving of replacement, even if it might suck for the rest of us that they now combine demographic advantages with new facilities in certain places.[/quote]
