Node 337.3 is apparently out of luck for staying at Leesville Road High School.
School board member Patti Head asked about not moving the node to Millbrook High School. The problem was that it was caught up in the whole we're taking too many kids out of Millbrook High already argument.
The thought of losing another 76 kids slated to go to Millbrook didn't fly with the board. Sensing no support, Head didn't ask for a vote.
Head instead asked about redrawing the boundary lines for the node, as suggested by some parents, to allow some of those kids to stay at Leesville. Staff will review the idea and report back to the board.

Mon, 01/26/2009 - 20:00 — louiselee44I hope folks now understand that when school boards refuse to listen to logic, facts, etc, - sometimes for 10 years or more - people organize and take matters to the General Assembly.
It's not always a case of "let's put more control in the government's hands" - it's a case of the local powers abusing their control, with no one to hold them accountable.
"Local control" means different things to different people. To me it means the citizens - the "grassroots".
I have advocated for years that when parents write letters to School Board members, County Commissioners, etc., they send one to their representatives downtown. Even if they say it's not in their jurisdiction to deal with such matters, if they hear from hundreds of constituents, they'll listen. It certainly can't do any harm if your arguments are legit.
The new session starts on Wednesday.

They can't NOT move Leesville kids to Millbrook because they now don't want to take too many kids out of Millbrook. Wha?
