It has been rumored by many that he had a hand in creating the initial boundary maps which are creating issues, especially addressing the Whitman attendance island which makes no sense and creates more issues than it solves.
Also, his point about voting for grandfathering only creates more issues as it will be a drain on transportation resources that now have to send multiple buses to the same neighborhoods since children will be going to many schools and not just one specific school. My understanding is that there was no proper analysis done on that topic and they voted off of the emotions of families potentially impacted by the boundary review.
He quotes numbers on what he has done but most of his meetings were not supposed to address boundary review (and thus no one joined to discuss boundary review) and he just worked it in so it is disingenuous to state those claims.
I would not trust anything that Mateo puts in his newsletters or voices to families.
While no formal decision was reached, the discussion at the last work session suggested they will break from past practice by offering grandfathering without transportation.
You have to pick your poison with these School Board members and decide whether you're better off if they blow with the wind like Dunne and Meren (and are prepared to toss Reid under a bus) or are just brain-dead and support whatever Reid wants to do (like Frisch and St. John-Cunning).
The absolute worst person on the school board is Sandy A. She snivels at her constituents, just oozes incredible disdain for them.
I think it's a defense mechanism. She's clearly not very bright.

I think so, but Reid apparently thought they didn't need to adjust the maps to reflect new boundaries for KAA because it's going to be a magnet.
Yet the new boundaries are supposed to go in effect the same year KAA re-opens. You can't make up this level of incompetence.
And it all happens while Sizemore-Heizer and Moon are supposed to be overseeing Reid, so they shouldn't get a pass either.
