If you're kid goes there pay the $10 bucks dues to the PTA & become a member. They sent links to video of the meeting the next day.

You can watch the meeting in snippets on YouTube without paying a dime.

Is her base school in cluster 2?
Shrevewood, Westgate, Lemon Road? If so, from the meeting it sounds like there is a 99% chance they will be sent elsewhere next year and no one is being grandfathered in.

I am a PTA member at Haycock. they did not send me the link to the videos of the meeting. but I found it from the PTA website --

we are in cluster 2. it looks like we may not be grandfathered and will go to the new center. we want to go to the new center whereever it is.

I often wonder why actual parents of children at this school keep posting questions on this site. It seems as though there is a strong possibility that the majority of posters actually may not be parents of children that attend this school. But people continue to want to make the name a popular thread and bad mouth for an unknown reason. The PTA did send out a hot sheet with the link of the entire meeting. If you were not a PTA member I'm sure you knew someone that attended the meeting as the place was packed. Or why not contact the school or email an official admin rather than get info off of this board where you don't know what is actually true. We were told the decisions would be made about the AAP program between Dec and Jan and that then the community would be notified then and be asked for input. Everyone will have their chance to raise concerns. So please this should be the last post about this. That is what was said at the meeting. They could not give specifics at the meeting because the plan is not ready.

Actually, what we were told is that 142 students would be moved out. All of their calculations were based on these 142 students being gone. That really doesn't sound like something that is going to be decided in Dec/Jan with community input.

No probably not. It is an AAP center. Not the base school.

If you are a "cluster 2" parent, talk to other parents from your base school with kids at Haycock. Parents are organizing to approach FCPS. Someone can point you to the group

I was there... PP info is correct on timeline - they will announce in Dec/Jan for fall 2013. However, I would NOT wait to act until you hear their plan if you want the possibility of being grandfathered in. Please organize with other parents and press them to provide current parents the option of staying. When that came up at the meeting, they seemed clearly uncomfortable talking about it so either they are not going to include it or they hadn't considered it. Regardless, FCPS acts first without community input and then apologizes, nods and smiles at the backlash and then goes about its business. I am glad the Haycock parents are mobilizing against this appalling treatment.

I'm a Shrevewood base school parent. Anything organized yet? I'd be happy to join in.

I'm hoping it is still open for discussion. We definitely want to stay, even if it means losing transportation.

We've been trying to reach out to all Haycock and Louise Archer AAP parents of children from the Shrevewood, Lemon Road, Westgate, Freedom Hill, Stenwood and Westbriar boundaries. Get the word out and have people email that address and we'll get them in our group.
