[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They didn’t, which led to [b]multiple SB members[/b] abstaining from the vote to purchase KAA, questions from BRAC members and community groups that remain unanswered, and continued uncertainty as to FCPS’s plans for KAA.[/quote]

The "multiple" number is 3.
Moon--who has announced his plans to run for Braddock supervisor
Rachna Sizemore-Heiser who is rumored to run for Braddock supervisor.

Both of those likely will not vote for anything that does not directly affect Braddock in a very positive way.  This purchase has no effect on Braddock as far as I can tell.

Meren is the third member who abstained.  South Lakes is in her district and many of the Carson students are in her district.  South Lakes may lose kids to this--or place Meren in the difficult position of picking who gets to be assigned there from Hunter Mill.

Please note:  No School Board member voted AGAINST the purchase.[/quote]

Or maybe they are just three members with more experience on the SB who care about governance and were unsettled by the questions that were neither answered nor identified at the time of the vote.

If the absence of a specific benefit to a member’s district was the key driver, you’d have seen other members abstaining as well.  [/quote]

The others aren't getting ready to run for BOS this year.[/quote]

Nor are all three of these members.  And the argument that refusing to support the KAA acquisition is something that would be politically popular anywhere outside the Sully (and perhaps Springfield) District is probably not the argument you want to make when you’re also contending everyone in the county should see this as a bargain.
