[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's really interesting is that if you just read the comments in this thread without knowing what actually happened in the election, you get the impression the Cherrydale people flocked to the meeting to vote out Rosslyn people and get a Cherrydale-centered PTA board that would push for a walk zone. In reality, it appears that it was Rosslyn people who flocked to the meeting to vote out Cherrydale-area board members in favor of Rosslyn people.[/quote]

A Cherrydale centered PTA with participants who did not have students attending the school.

Further, that Cherrydale focused PTA were lottery parents; do think of the Rosslyn PTA members were advocating to the school board to remove lottery families, there would not have been a similar response? [/quote]

Isn't that what Rosslyn PTA members want to do now?  From what I've read on this thread, they seem to hate them all and want them removed from the school?[/quote]

Very likely that is what they want now, but its a response to the pre-emptive actions from Cherrydale community members making space for themselves at the expense of current Rosslyn students.  A bit different; Rosslyn parents were part of the group recommending the Buck site, which is an inclusive approach to make space for all who want to attend their neighborhood school.[/quote]

Absolutely incorrect.  The whole Buck idea was originally [b]thought of and advocated for those who live near the school[/b].  They were advocating to expand the school onto Buck last year during the Options and Transfer process, before the Rosslyn folks even understood what was going on.  The fact is the Rosslyn/Courthosue crew is an angry and vindictive group who have said and done some really nasty things to several really good people.  These same people who were ironically advocating for them.  So sad.[/quote]

Exactly they were advocating expanding the space for themselves — to accelerate the adoption of a walk zone. When that tied turned, it was the complaints about traffic and Rosslyn is already going on a bus, so send them to Taylor. We are just saying put the breaks on adding to an overcapacity school until 2021 when the system will have a clearer picture. If you add the Cherrydale walkzone, there isn’t space and someone has to be pushed out — do Cherrydale residents all hate Taylor this much to go to this lengths ; it isn’t like when they moved here they didn’t know the zoned school. [b]Just be patient and chill.[/b]  [/quote]

You will get your walkable school, Cherrydale. Can you just chill until we can all work it out?

You realize that your actions caused the (over)reaction from Rosslyn?
