How is your Fairfax school board member voting?

[Anonymous]

How did or how do you expect your School Board member to vote on AAP and TJ admissions? I am trying to get a pulse on what is going to happen with TJ (merit lottery vs. holistic review) and AAP in the next couple of years. Keys Gamarra and Anderson lean towards lottery and Tholen, Sizemore Heizer, and Derenak Kaufax on holistic review. Is that right?

Karen Keys-Gamarra - Member-at-Large

Abrar Omeish - Member-at-Large

Rachna Sizemore Heizer- Member-at-Large

Megan McLaughlin - Braddock District Representative

Elaine Tholen - Dranesville District Representative

Melanie K. Meren - Hunter Mill District Representative

Tamara Derenak Kaufax - Lee District Representative

Ricardy Anderson - Chair, Mason District Representative

Karen Corbett Sanders - Mount Vernon District Representative

Karl Frisch - Providence District Representative

Laura Jane Cohen - Springfield District Representative

Stella Pekarsky- Vice-Chair, Sully District Representative

I expect the AAP recommendations will move the way the outside committee recommended - every school gets local level IV and the building norms are used after that. After all, every single member voted to approve the use of building norms for the NNAT pool for every school with local level IV and every center already (http://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=BVJEC639BBEC).

Add level 4 at each school if they want but I hope they keep centers

If they don't keep centers (or even if they do, but they add a local level IV everywhere), they are going to have to change some boundaries. Our center would be tiny without anyone coming in from other schools.

The left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing in FCPS.

Our school would become title I without it's center. Probably good for the resources, but the neighborhood would pitch a fit

I don’t think the centers would be effective immediately. Like maybe from current 3rd grade on? Kids currently in center would continue at their centers vs retuning to their base school.

So they are dismantling centers? How is that helpful?
