[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They screwed up and undercounted kids when they made the recommendations yesterday. Other PUs may be back on the table now. https://www.apsva.us/aps-boundaries/[/quote]

At last night’s meeting on the high school boundary refinements, several individuals identified an error on the spreadsheet handout.  We have reviewed the data again and have found that the  baseline spreadsheet added the students listed for each year.  We learned today that while the data on the boundary tool was accurate, it was not clear on the spreadsheet that the data provided for each year was actually cumulative for the years progressively.

As a result, we are reviewing the draft options to make any necessary revisions and [b]most likely will need to add more planning units into each of the draft options presented at the Oct. 27 meeting[/b].

Revised information will be posted on Monday 10/31.

UGH.  What the hell?!  Why not just end this farce and have presented the 3 options at the start of this process and let people comment on it?  Especially, if you were going to ignore people's submissions anyway.  A lot of people wasted too much time with the tool and it didn't even get any comment from the APS folks.[/quote]

WHAT?!?!

Seriously, just give us three options. This is crazy. I don't have time for this crap.

I don't want any options. Just make a fucking decision, for ONCE. That is what we elect you for.

This process should not be allowed to deteriorate into residents attacking one another and denigrating one of the county's high schools. This is not "community building."[/quote]

Actually, this. This is what they should do. We don't need a repeat of last night. [/quote]

I agree. I have mixed emotions and general bemusement at how last night went down, but there was a genuinely sad moment when everyone was carping on Wakefield, both directly and indirectly, and a Wakefield rep spoke up to defend it. Fine, it has a higher % of low-income kids and a lower pass rate on some state tests, but come on. It's not a third-world prison camp.[/quote]

I urge those of you who feel this way to email the school board and Linda Erdos to tell them. This is terribly demoralizing.[/quote]
