[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all the hoopla around the later HS start times and justification of the Millions $$$ spent, their was no mention of the MS students getting screwed. Bait and Switch.  Karen Garza was so eager to get this through that there was no transparency about the downside, which should have been discussed. Certainly, no one raised this at our MS last year. When you add this to the high stakes budget BS, she's building a lot of distrust. [/quote]

+100.  At some point, she is going to need FCPS stakeholders to support her.  And is going to get FCPS's collective middle finger.  I certainly no longer trust her.  Full day Mondays are nice (working mom here!), MS start times suck.  But what get me is what she is doing with the budget-- essentially pitting FCPS parents against each other to save immersion, AAP, sports, etc. is awful.  And, she's crying wolf on this one.[/quote]

And if the Board/Superintendent DIDN'T ask for community input, you'd be up in arms that they didn't get the community's input.  You know you'd be calling them dictators and accusing them of having their own unstated agenda from day 1.  So, really, your complaint that they are pitting groups against each other is a total strawman.[/quote]
