It must be illegal?

Seriously? How can it be legal that we have one board member that we can vote for but they send our kids out of that area?
Doesn't this fall under our constitutional right to elect our public officials? I don't think they mean, "Then we'll have someone else in charge of that issue--not the person you elected into office."
If it's all the school board members then we should have the right to vote for (or against) all of them.
These are public schools paid for with tax payers dollars.

Our state representatives are elected to areas. Would Tom Feeney hand over Titusville over to the neighboring 15th Congressional district? I think not. If he did what would his constituants do? Robert Jordan should not hand over our kids to the other district. The receiving elected official should not accept them.

Fundamentally, a responsible voter backs the public official that they feel will best represent their area and have the same common goals. The voter listens to the candidates and aligns with the one they feel will accomplish those goals. But I get the feeling the school district doesn't get that! It's as if they are saying, "nah, don't worry about it. This other elected official [elected by the people over there] has a better idea than you and your elected official!"

The School District has obviously conflicting areas, PSJ has 3 elementary schools and a need for more classrooms/or new middle school but the Cocoa area has 4* elem schools and 2 middle schools. Their answer is they want to sacrifice the rights of the student in PSJ to fill the needs in the Cocoa area.

* Fairglen is already going to school outside it's own district--it is in our district. Cocoa then has 3 elem schools feeding into 2 middle schools.

We had a thread earlier regarding this issue you can read those comments here...
