[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cohen and Frisch don’t do anything to address overcrowded high schools, but they are constantly asking for money.  Talk about “pay to play”!

The elitists make it clear that they'd rather have their kids go to overcrowded schools instead of adjusting boundaries, so Cohen and Frisch can't really push for policy to address overcrowding. Well, they can, but they'd risk their reputations.[/quote]

I thought Cohen was supporting moving kids from West Springfield to under-enrolled Lewis. Is that not the case? [/quote]

We aren’t sure. There was some movement of neighborhoods from (I think) Springfield District to Lee District for magisterial district purposes. Your district for the BoS doesn’t match up with your school pyramid though. It is unclear to me if Cohen understands that fact. West Springfield has pretty compact and logical boundaries and, with the expansion (that is already done and predates Cohen, so no point in arguing about it anymore) is just about at capacity.

Where is the plan for all of this?  Tholen had a chance to wait on the MHS boundary until after FCPS hired the boundary consultant - that consultant was supposed to recommend best practices on boundaries for all of FCPS.  Tholen did not wait and pushed through the change in the middle of a pandemic - so she failed to make the process better (or make a process at all).  How is it that we now see Cohen and Frisch going about this in the same failed way Tholen did - a way that lacks transparency and leaves parents wondering where things stand?
