[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't live in region 4, so it doesn't effect me...but I heard that BOTH the West Springfield BRAC members are Hunt Valley parents and they did everything the could to keep Hunt Valley at West Springfield.  I'm not saying the BRAC members aren't trying their best, but that's a huge bias.

Most of the volunteers from Region 4 were from Hunt Valley.

There is nothing nefarious about the selection for Region 4.[/quote]
I wouldn’t call it nefarious, but based on the limited number of seats available, they could have done a better job making sure more areas were represented. WSHS wasn’t the only pyramid where both reps were zoned to the same elementary school. [/quote]

How many other parents volunteered?

The list was randomly selected, and the selection videotaped.

If I recall correctly, most of the volunteers for committee selection were Hunt Valley parents.

Every parent had the opportunity to volunteer for community selection.  Most parents from most of the schools in that pyramid  did not volunteer.  The HV parents overwhelmingly volunteered

They are the wealthiest and presumably have more SAHP and can take time off for the meetings.  As a teacher, I was worried I would be too exhausted to make my 25 Kindergarteners the next morning after staying at meetings and I didn’t want to take sub days.  I didn’t know if the meetings were in the evening or during the day. The only info on the survey was “it was a big time commitment”. We need my salary and so I didn’t put my name in.  Perhaps there were others who need to work and have to put that first. [/quote]
