[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here--I should add that the SB asked for quite a bit more data. I wouldn't be surprised if they make changes to the options. [/quote]

I watched the live stream yesterday and then rewatched part of it. While they did ask for more info, I didn't get the sense they would necessarily reopen this up too much.  It did look like they want to see actual walkability to examine the argument presented by AF parents. And of course examine how future enrollment would look after 4 years.

Can someone clear something up for me?  I thought they said this would be only for the next four years but it sounded like there was an exchange with Murphy or his staff where they agreed with one SB member that they wouldn't change the planning units who would be moved back to WL after the next four years.
 
What struck me was:
1) Sanchez referring to the Ed Center as a given.
2) A number seemed to believe Wakefield is as good as the others.  If you look at performance of white kids (which appear to be the race of the majority of parents who came forward last night) across all 3, so was highest and Wakefield the lowest.  
3) Landers pointing out Arlington Tech as an alternative for people unhappy about overcrowding or the reputation of Wakefield.  It seems almost if the show doesn't want to solve the overcrowding too well since they need AT to succeed first.

I agree they probably won't make huge, sweeping changes, but I was surprised that they asked for additional scenarios, so that could mean going with an option not presented to them (or at least altering one of the existing 7).

I was surprised that people thought this was only a temporary switch. Once those PUs move, they are there for good, or at least until the next redistricting process. They won't revert back after 5 years.

Yes, Ed Center sounds like a done deal.

I LOLed at whichever SB member said that parents weren't well-informed about the Tech option. As if there's anyone to blame for that except APS. [/quote]
