Yesterday, six amendments were proposed to the Staff Recommendation to relieve the overcrowding at Annandale High School. Those amendments, and the school board member who proposed them, are:
1. A motion to postpone action on the Staff Recommendation until the September 22, 2011, Board meeting, proposed by Sandy Evans.
(If the motion to postpone passes, then the rest of the amendments would not be offered.)
2. A motion to amend the Staff Recommendation by retaining the eastern portion of the Wakefield Forest Elementary School attendance area at Poe Middle School and Annandale High School, proposed by Tina Hone and Sandy Evans.
3. A motion to amend the Staff Recommendation by retaining the assignment of students in the Bren Mar Park “west” attendance area (those portions west of 395) at Annandale High School, proposed by Sandy Evans.
4. A motion to amend the Staff Recommendation for the new elementary school at the Lacey site by retaining the current Pine Spring ES attendance island assignment at all school levels (Pine Spring ES, Jackson MS, and Falls Church HS), proposed by Patty Reed.
5. A motion to amend the Staff Recommendation by assigning the Columbia Pines subdivision from Poe Middle School and Falls Church High School to Glasgow Middle School and Stuart High School, effective with rising 6th and 9th graders in school year 2012-2013, proposed by Sandy Evans.
6. A motion to amend the Staff Recommendation by retaining Barcroft Knolls, Overlook Knolls and the Dean Subdivision in the Belvedere Elementary School attendance area, proposed by Sandy Evans.
For those who support the Staff Recommendation or who believe that Annandale HS is overcrowded and needs relief, you need to write the School Board NOW to voice your support and stress the overcrowding. Not only is there a proposal to keep Wakefield Forest ES at Poe MS and Annandale HS, there is a proposal to keep Bren Mar Park ES west of 395 at Annandale HS, leaving Annandale HS severely overcrowded. You should also tell the School Board that you do not want a delay. Any delay will just put off the hard decisions until later and continue the divisiveness that we have all been experiencing already.
The School Board will vote on this subject on Thursday, July 28 at 7:00 p.m. at Luther Jackson MS. The public is permitted to attend.
Let the School Board hear your VOICE!
