There are not enough parking spaces for seniors, let alone adding in Juniors who would have the means to drive. For a SB focused on equity, they provide zero plans for ensuring equity in phasing? The worst part of the night was when SB member Robyn Lady said that rich kids should just drive the poor kids--she used an analogy of when her kids went to Marshal and some of the poorer kids couldn't get to the McDonalds afterward her kids drove them. It was insulting and disguising.

Why did not SB not think through how to make phasing equitable? Where is the plan? How can SB members like Lady get away with putting the burden of transportation on the children themselves?

"All of our schools are outstanding and excellent schools," Reid told the school board. Suggesting that all of FCPS schools are of the same quality.

It's fascinating how during the discussion, the school board sounded accusatory about kids who'd want to stay at their current schools and what a drain that would be on the system. They acted like families did something wrong. Not like the SB started all of this.

Even high school seniors? That's absurd.


Most high school seniors drive, or have friends to carpool with. The seniors don't need the busses.


Yeah, not at our school.

Bo bussing makes sense given that they stupidly enacted a county-wide rezoning


When they made county-wide changes in the past they committed in advance to phasing and transportation, and treated that as a constraint on how many boundaries they’d change.

These people are such idiots in comparison. They were so keen to announce that they were doing something that hadn’t been done in 40 years that they never bothered to figure out how it had been done 40 years ago.


DP. They also provided transportation for the necessary boundary changes over the last few decades. I guess unnecessary comprehensive changes are different.

Seems like we’re all in the FO phase of the school board FA.

You might want to check your privilege there. There are rising seniors who definitely rely on busses.

How can they justify offering bussing for people they reassign to the new high school but choose to stay in their home school while not offering busses to people grandfathered in due to the regular boundary changes? That's total BS.


Those kids should not get bussing either.

They never had a thoughtful approach to phasing or transportation.

What a bunch of stupid arrogant shits.
