There certainly were a great many people with passionate views at the board meeting on Wednesday. I do appreciate their views and their willingness to stick with the process and with the meeting until the end. What I heard Wednesday was that there is no consistent view withing the community that would indicate that tradeoffs are not worth making, because each person who spoke had a different perspective, based on where their children go to school.
The e-mails I received after the board meeting confirmed that assessment; some agreed with people who spoke on Wednesday, others did not. For example, there are North High parents and staff who would like to see boundaries changed between the high school much more quickly than the current proposal would allow.
Once again, I believe that these tradeoffs are worth making because they benefit the school district as a whole, particularly for the long run.
