Neat. Your kid is entitled to a class and a teacher. The teacher doesn’t have to be someone you like and approve of and the classroom doesn’t have to be in a permanent building.

Next!

This isn’t actually true, and I know you know that. Children are entitled to appropriate classrooms and I think a reasonable definition of “appropriate” includes “including sanitation facilities”. Trailers should only ever be a temporary fix and we (as in the community as a whole not just parents of school-age children) should be raising this issue. They’re an eyesore and a waste of the outdoor space our taxes are also paying for.

But you’re right about the teacher.

No one had said anything about teachers. PP just pulled it out of a hat to try and conflate legitimate concerns about facilities with something else.

Dunn Loring is in Vienna/Merrifield. Kent Gardens is in McLean. They aren't really in the same area of the county. FCPS needs to come up with something else to justify Frisch's folly in Dunn Loring, where an administrative building surrounded by under-enrolled ES is being renovated.

They are only 4.2 miles apart a 12 minute drive according to google. That is fairly close for the district.

At what time of day? They are separated by the county's largest business district - Tysons. It can take 10 minutes just to get through a few lights in Tysons.

Sorry but you'll need to find another program to justify Dunn Loring.

It doesn’t sound like you are familiar with 5e area. You don’t go through Tysons to get from Kent Gardens and Dunn Loring. You go on Idlewood. There are three traffic lights. It doesn’t take very long- even during rush hour.

It’s Idylwood, not Idlewood, and traffic backs up at multiple intersections on that narrow road (including at the Idywood/Route 7 intersection), so perhaps you are the clueless one.

Again, KG isn’t going to lose a longstanding immersion program just to make Karl Frisch seem like less of a bumbler.

I go on Idylwood daily at all times of the day, it doesn’t back up much. On the very rare occasion, I may have to wait one extra light at rt 7, but since Covid- that is maybe once a month.

I am not suggesting anything about moving any program, I was just calling you out on your assertion that the two schools were very far apart.

Didn't say they are "very far apart," but they are in different parts of the county in different pyramids and the KG program continues at Longfellow, into which DL will not feed. The current program should not be relocated when there are other options to reduce the KG overcrowding.

Neat. Your kid is entitled to a class and a teacher. The teacher doesn’t have to be someone you like and approve of and the classroom doesn’t have to be in a permanent building.

Next!

But is the child entitled to a classroom free of mold? With a floor that does not have gaps to the ground below? To not have dead animals under the floor?
My portable has air conditioning but the walls and floors are really wavy - the carpenters did not replace the actual subfloor during mold mitigation so some of the tiles are the only floor there is. We can't hear the fire alarm - sometimes someone comes to the door to let us know there is a fire drill - but not always. My landline isn't connected either.
But it is a room and I am teacher so I guess its all good - right?

The German immersion program is at Orange Hunt and there were 125 kids who lived outside the school's boundaries transferring in last year so it doesn't appear to limited to those in boundary for the school.

I think the school-based programs are generally for Spanish immersion.

You talk pyramids and Kent Gardens? How about 18 pyramids feeding the FLI excluding Mclean and Langley [2 that woud have base elementary schools where students live NE,NW, east of Kent Gardens]? Move out base school walkers to accomodate students from pyramids ranging from Marshall to Robinson, South County or out towards Dulles Airport?

P 93 of the last CIP has herndon pyramid design and program capacity, enrollment, trailer and modular counts. Some schools have open program capacity and Herndon and Hutchison ES are really over cap. Dranesville got a tail from Herndon [?]. The tail is between Clearview and Herndon. Most Herndon pyramid elementary schools need preK and FCPS should do administrative boundary changes for residences that get FCPS transportation.

Not sure what this stream of consciousness means but no one is talking about moving neighborhoods where the kids walk to KG out of the school to accommodate immersion students from other parts of the county.

Theoretically, some current KG neighborhoods where kids ride a bus to KG could be reassigned to other schools in the same HS pyramid that, unlike KG, are not overcrowded.

It’s not that complicated.

What did my post mean? One fact is a Herndon pyramid school had a boundary change for in boundary residences. You are proposing moving in boundary to accommodate out of boundary students. Furthermore, Chesterbrook and Frankiln Sherman are small schools- 700 [82% cap] and 410 [85% cap]. KG is 848 [121%]. That's 175 over on that CIP. Until FCPS gives the data on in boundary and each sending pyramid for FLI it's a difficult discussion. However FCPS provides enough data to know a big chunk of the 175 is out of boundary immersion.

I know that the JIP IA at Fox Mill works with the First Graders a lot and helps with some of the other classes when needed but spends most of their time with the younger grades. I would guess that 4 JI Instructors at GFES means that they have JI in grades 3-6 unless some of the Teachers are teaching math and science for 2 grade levels.
