According to a search, Ryan McElveen used that exact phrase at some point.
He may well abstain or vote against the Skyview-related boundary changes, but it won't matter. He's in the minority bloc that gets outvoted by the ruling junta that typically goes along with whatever Reid wants and includes Seema Dixit, Sandy Anderson, Robyn Lady, Kyle McDaniel, Karl Frisch, Marcia St John-Cunning, and Tom Dannan.
Actually, the Skyview boundaries make sense--except that IMHO it should have been Crossfield rather than Fox Mill because of the proximity issue. But, Fox Mill is very close to Skyview, as well. It's just that it is also close to South Lakes and Crossfield is not close to Oakton--no matter what the claim is by some.
What does not make sense is the Walney area being exempt when it is exactly halfway between schools and some already go to Cub Run.
I have no idea what makes sense from Centreville, but I do know that it does not make sense to take the closest neighborhood to Centreville and one of the poorest and send it to Westfield.
However, and I guess I am beating a dead horse, I cannot fathom how they could send Chantilly Mews to Westfield. This may be the worst decision in this whole process.
The decisions on the new Westfield boundary are so comically bad that everyone on here actually is in complete agreement on them, which never happens on here on any topic. There is pretty much total consensus on all the changes:
1. Everyone agrees Chantilly Mews should stay at Franklin/CHS and not be moved to Stone/Westfield. (Is there even one person anywhere who thinks this is a good idea? How did they get moved in the first place?)
2. Everyone agrees the balance of Cub Run + all the Walneys and that part of Brookfield should be at Westfield
3. Everyone agrees the Bull Run apartments that are closer to Centreville should stay at Centreville.
Those are literally all the changes made to Westfield total (besides the initial moves to Skyview which all make sense).

“Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?” comes to mind here.

In the past, McElveen would have been quite critical of boundary changes that decimated a school and only moved poor kids around. But now he’s older, has kids, and lives in the Langley district. Not sure if he can be bothered to stick up for Westfield, but he certainly didn’t like what they recently did to Marshall.

Every single one of them should lose their jobs, including Reid. We've been hearing their silence since the Hayfield situation.

No. She is claiming her lifelong nickname has always been “Sully” even though she’s never actually referred to herself as Sully before she decided to run for the Sully District school board seat. It’s so cringe.
That’s so embarrassing for her.
omg i'm feeling second hand cringe so hard.

It depends on who you think your supporters are. If you think your middle class neighbors in Little Rocky Run are happy to get rid of the low income kids, you don't say anything.
You're right but how is that different from what Seema Dixit is doing?
Its exactly the same. Both gross.

The Centreville people don't even want 3000 kids at their school--too much competition for sports teams, academics, etc.
They want 1900 kids (no poors please!) in a giant brand new building built for 3000.
