[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I second listening to last week's work session. It is very enlightening, especially in terms of how little has been determined about anything at all - boundaries, start times, the new school, or the timeline for any of this! Kudos to Melanie Meren for expressing concerns about how in the world they are going to manage all of this in the time allotted![/quote]

It was all quite eye-opening, and not in a good way.

Meren and Ricardy Anderson keep their eyes on the ball.  I would put Ricardy in charge of FCPS if I were in charge of things. [/quote]

Well, for sure, they were the only ones prepared.  
I am a little curious about the IB/AP thing from Meren.  It sounds like she thinks that needs to be discussed/ or that she thinks bus transportation should be provided.

Bus transportation was not brought up about KAA.  I'd love to see a break out of the savings of not sending the kids to Westfield or Oakton.  It has to be substantial.  A ballpark way to evaluate would be to compare cost to send kids to Carson vs Westfield from that area.  The boundary would be similar to the current Carson boundary.

Someone posted that all the buses at Westfield wait until opening to let the kids off the bus.  I've never heard of that in high school.

I am still stunned at the lack of preparation from the School Board, the Superintendent, and the staff for that meeting.

Most of the SB members are only concerned about their own constituents.  McElveen was ridiculous.  Was Moon there, i can't remember his take. McDaniel, at least for now, wants a traditional school.[/quote]
