[quote=Anonymous]Did ACPS remove entire classrooms at your school? Our ACPS elementary had 3 homerooms for every grade. Now 3-5 it is only 2 and there are over 28 children in a class. I thought that ACPS had a policy of having low numbers in elementary. I can't find it online anymore, but this was one of the reasons we chose ACPS over APS (we needed to be on a metro line for work). Are students and their families being turned away from their in bound school while classrooms sit empty? This is not a teacher recruitment issue either. Our school had a high rate of retention and our principal was very transparent with families about it. It sounds like this decision was made at Dr. Kay-Wyatt's level. I am super frustrated as I have emailed the school board and central office and no one has responded. It was weeks ago. I wrote a very thoughtful and practical based email. I understand the teacher shortage. I understand that we have lower enrollment. But I know of families who live in our neighborhood and in boundaries who are going to a school that is not walking distance and they do not get bus service either. Please someone tell me that I am the only one without a response and you have heard back from ACPS or a school board member. [/quote]
