Exactly this. There were Shrevewood families that left FCPS and aren't coming back. There are Shrevewood families who've reacted to the LLIV approach by sending their kids to Lemon Road. The number of ES kids in FCPS may also decline due to general demographic trends. FCPS's long-term projections (which include student yield from future residential construction not included in the CIP forecasts) only yield 15 more kids at Shrevewood, and most of that relates to a development outside the Beltway. But if there were a rebound in the school's enrollment, there was a simple solution available that could be implemented quickly and would not waste $60M, which is what's now estimated as the cost of Dunn Loring in the latest CIP. Frisch is a moron and he should be voted out. |
This is not an issue you bring to the school board, it's an issue you bring to the executive principal and/or assistant superintendent for your region. |
You're wrong. You don't have a kid at Shrevewood. Covid is not what is driving the enrollment numbers now. If you were a parent there, you would know this. |
It was a brilliant move, frankly. He got rid of problem parents and overcrowding at the same time, LOL! |
DP. Then Frisch shouldn’t have lied to this parent by saying he would investigate and get back to him/her. |
You must not know the importance of test scores if you believe the issues is solved. |
+1. COVID has nothing to do with the declining numbers. It's also not a poor reflection on the school. I believe the Principal indirectly fixed the crowding issue by getting rid of AAP classrooms. Now it's a cluster model which many families aren't a fan of. That's why the larger class sizes are K-2 and 6th grade. Next year, 6th grade class will be small. |
+1 It is likely test scores will go down and FARMS numbers will increase as a specific demographic leaves after 2nd grade. Long term, there is the potential for home values to decrease. It’s not “lol” as a PP stated. |
Have you listened to the podcast Nice White Parents? |

Tony Sabio did not answer the SEPTA questionnaire.

| Did Tony Sabio ever waste $60 million on taxpayer money like Frisch? |
| I literally don’t know Sabio’s positions on ANYTHING because he has not filled out any of the questionnaires for school board candidates! |
|
Providence candidates should be asked to answer a simple questionnaire:
Have you ever wasted $60M in taxpayer money on an unnecessary school in Providence in order to save a dog park in another part of the district? |
You keep posting here but it’s clear you don’t have a child at the school. Those of us whose children stayed are happy with the way things are now. We don’t care about test scores because we feel our children are in a better situation now. And it’s not just education, it’s also socially. The kids are happier this year. |
You don’t have kids at the school. |
