[quote=Anonymous]I watched the replay of the SB meeting from last night and found it interesting. Here's the link (the portion on HS boundaries starts around 30:00 and goes to at least 140:00 with the public comments and SB discussion): 
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=L-8H47Op3Og

Some highlights:
-The man quoted in the ArlNow article starts around the 85:00 mark & calls the process "ass-backwards."
-Lots of AF parents spoke against the transfer to Wakefield, but a couple spoke in favor. 
-A student from the Student Advisory Board cautioned parents to use social media responsibly (drawing laughs from the audience) and said the students were reading comments made by parents and found many of them "embarrassing."
-One commentor from Nottingham/Yorktown expressed concern that too many PUs were being moved to both schools and W-L would be under capacity if any of the options were chosen (the SB later showed interest in this concern, asking to see scenarios where fewer PUs would be moved).
-SB question about rate of growth, and whether Wakefield was growing faster than Yorktown & how that should inform this process.
-Dr. Viola-Sanchez does NOT want to move Arlington Mill away from W-L. And she also made a comment about how the next high school "could be in this building [I assume she means the Ed Center/Buck Property?] and would provide relief to W-L"--another argument for moving fewer PUs from W-L right now.
