Students who are found ineligible may be considered for part-time school-based advanced academic services at the
local school. Parents or guardians of ineligible students may also refer their child for full-time AAP Level IV screening
the following year according to the published time line.
APPEALS FOR STUDENTS FOUND INELIGIBLE
Only parents or guardians may submit an appeal. Appeal information is contained in the ineligibility letter. Appeals
may only be from the most recent screening cycle and must contain new information not contained in the original
screening file. Parents or guardians of a FCPS student may obtain a copy of the screening file from the local school.
The new information along with the AAP Level IV Appeal Form, available at
http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/forms.shtml, is submitted to the Advanced Academic Programs Office according to the
deadline in the ineligibility letter.
The Advanced Academic Programs office convenes a screening appeals committee to review appeal packets
submitted by the deadline. Appeals committee decisions are final. The AAP office notifies parents or guardians and
the local school of the appeals committee decisions. Full-time Advanced Academic Program (Level IV) placement is
offered to eligible students. Students found ineligible upon appeal may be considered for part-time school-based
advanced academic services at the local school. Parents or guardians of these students may also refer their children
for full-time AAP (Level IV) screening the following year according to the published time line.
