[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the whole BRAC thing is that people likely volunteered to look out for their own neighborhoods.  That is not to slam them, but to be realistic.  
Now, think about this.  There are around 30 pyramids.  That means 60 BRAC members (plus, of course the "extra" parent from Woodson.)

Add in all the reps from the special interest groups.

There is NO one from my area on BRAC.  They both come from the other end of the boundary.  I'm sure every pyramid has a similar situation.

Some schools are smaller and others are very big.  Some elementary neighborhoods are not in the same pyramid with their high school--so they really get NO representation.
So, you have Chantilly BRAC representing 3000 kids and then you have Lewis which would represent about 1600.

Then, you have Madison, which represents a relatively confined area and then you have Oakton and Langley--who have lengthy boundaries.

What I am trying to say is the the idea that the BRAC members really represent and can speak for their own pyramid is unrealistic.  It was always unrealistic--just "lipstick on a pig" to look like it was transparent.

This was doomed to fail.
