[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Above all else, it’s the arrogance of the school board members that really angers me. They heard from us five years ago when they tried to change boundaries that we don’t want them moved. But throughout the whole process, they continue to ignore public opinion on boundaries.[/quote]

It’s the, “we know best” and “we are hearing from people who want this, trust me”. That gets me. When asked if our board member was hearing from people in our boundary that wanted this, she changed the subject to another neighborhood. Why? Because no one that I’ve come across in our small pocket wants this unnecessary change. We aren’t the only neighborhood in her constituency with a similar response. [/quote]

They haven’t even identified the problem they are trying to solve by redistricting.

What is their WHY? [/quote]

At this point it doesn’t matter.  Look at the recommendations their consultant came up with and it’s hard to imagine we could ever have a more incompetent superintendent or school board.  [/quote]
Our area was not touched in the discussions about split feeders, attendance islands, etc. Once Thru created scenarios, everything changed & the response from the SB was cold and, “oh well”. It’s crazy to me, because this is an outside consulting firm who doesn’t know our neighborhood dynamics. It’s sending kids to schools that are further away. Much of what it decided is nonsense and the board isn’t even questioning it. [/quote]
