[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the recall petition for Laura Jane Cohen was filed in circuit court today. Not sure about Abrar Omeish. Cohen is asking for donations to defend the recall even though it appears FCPS is paying for the lawyers.[/quote]

Cohen is not going to get donations.  She just sold out the West Springfield Elementary neighborhood from Rolling Rd to  Daventry for rezoning to Lewis High School.

She had a Freudian slip and bragged about it in her town hall meeting tonight. Whoops![/quote]

Are you sure she wasn’t just talking about the precincts that have just been moved out of the Springfield District to other magisterial districts by the Board of Supervisors?  West Springfield is going to be split among Braddock, Lee, and Springfield, but that won’t necessarily have an impact on the WSHS boundaries.

She said it in the context of Lewis.

Her words were along the line of "We got them to switch a bunch of West Springfield kids to Lee!" in a very excited tone when talking about Lewis high school.

Fcps is in the middle of rezoning. They had a work session last night.  Laura Jane spent a good portion of her town hall meeting last night touting the Lewis social justice academy.  Lewis is not her district, so why would she hard sell it while happily discussing the West Springfield redistricting to Lee?

This switch of West Springfield to Lee district was a last minute change that was not on the original map they were going to vote on.

It splits West Springfield high school pyramid into thirds, and takes the the neighborhood from behind the golf course along Rolling Rd through Daventry and moves it under the Lee district school board rep.

The Lee rep has every incentive to push to rezone these neighborhoods newly moved into her district to get rezoned to Lewis.

The Lee rep has zero reason to support West Springfield families wanting to stay in their current high school, which is minutes from their houses.

Laura Jane Cohen can just wash her hands and claim "you aren't under my jurisdiction"  She has no reason or motivation to support the West Springfield parents.  They are no longer "her" people.

Irving district and West Springfiled district were not supposed to move districts.  This was a last minute change with zero public input that happened the night before the supervisors voted.  Something happened behind the scenes.

A week later, Cohen brags at her town hall that she got a "bunch of West Springfield kids" to get redistricted to Lee.

Not a coincidence that fcps also scheduled rezoning as their focus over the near future.

That neighborhood is certainly going to get rezoned.away from the school five minjtes away, across town to Lewis.

I guess Cohen's supporters are just getting what they voted for.[/quote]
