Here's an idea for elementary school rezoning

A tidbit about our parent representative from Spring Hill Elementary: THEY JUST SOLD THEIR HOME AND MOVED TO A DIFFERENT AREA OF FAYETTE COUNTY! Does she know something is coming down that we don't?? Here are some ideas that the board, their consultant, and their parent committee might consider:
1. Move all East Fayette elementary to the new Inman school - they would get a great new school with the same staff.
2. Leave the remaining boundaries the same and wait until they have multiple trailers before they are rezoned - like the board has done for the last 10 years.
3. Sell or hold the land in the north part of the county (the 2nd elementary to be built) until it is really needed. What is it with this "we're already pregnant" analogy? Why do we HAVE to build an elementary school there now? Land is being held at Whitewater High and I assume, other locations.
I STAND FOR LESS DISRUPTION!

After months of allowing a parent committee, guided by Sam Sweat, Assistant Superintendant of Opeations, C. W. Campbell, Coordinator of Safety and Discipline, and their hired consultant to come up with the ridiculous maps A and B, we now have "tweaks" to both based on the most outspoken homeowners who voiced their opinion at the open forum meeting. This "process" seems flawed and based on special interests. When did it get so off track?

What do yo mean who came up with these? The BoE did! These are more ridiculous than A & B. These are for the loudest voices! Now the people who they have moved on these new maps have no chance to "voice" their opposition! These maps are so obvious is crazy. Minter will be at 400 kids! Just over 50% capacity, how can this be cost effective at all? Our tax money paid a consultant $42,000 for what? It cost money to have that committee meet also, you had transportation there every night, huge maps that are big bucks. Map AB & BA are way more than "tweaking" they are completely new. Why didn't the board just do this themselves! How did they decide to help 36 of 38 neighborhoods? What did the other 2 do wrong?
