[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]I wrote a very thoughtful and practical based email. [/b]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]

hahahaha, I'm so sorry but you must be new. ACPS does not respond to emails. They assume that if you've taken the time to write to them about anything, you must be racist, crazy, privileged, unhinged, republican, etc. and therefore not worth responding to. It's a very convenient communications policy they've created for themselves. The board has actually stated that they exist to serve those that don't communicate with them, because of course, they know best.[/quote]
