[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a lot of “boundary changes for thee, but not for me, unless we get moved to a higher rated school.”.  So, will the consequence be  depopulated lower rated schools, to point where even fewer advanced classes will be offered at them?  Feels quite NIMBY-ish to me, and “screw them for being poor.”.[/quote]

You sound like certain school board members. Nobody is saying screw the poor. Only the equity-minded crew who want to start class warfare with their neighbors.

It’s less NIMBY and more NOTBOOKS (not on the backs of our kids)[/quote]

Very “ME” vs “WE”. Ok, I got it. [/quote]

Your extremist purity test ends up costing the democrats a lot of elections.[/quote]

Does it? In Fairfax? 1 Republican Board of Supervisors member, 0 Republican School Board members. They could lose a number of seats and still be in full control.

While a massive boundary shift might get the School Board in a lot of trouble, some targeted adjustments, even unpopular ones, are not likely to cost the Democrats full control in Fairfax.[/quote]

DP.  "Targeted adjustments" is a very charitable term for the sort of nonsense that FCPS staff and Thru Consulting have been ponying up so far.   [/quote]

That's true, but in the end I think they will be smart enough (just smart enough, don't give them too much credit) to be somewhat selective in what issues they address. So they may inflict some pain in certain areas, but not many areas.

But once again they have a 12-0 majority and Fairfax is very blue (Blue no matter who), so I see it as a hard climb for Republicans to gain control. Remember, many voters are not very plugged in.[/quote]
