==========
The School Board has about half a dozen advisory committees, including the Advanced Academic Programs Advisory Committee (AAPAC).  FCPS recently began posting past AAPAC annual reports, meeting schedules, member names, and staff's minutes:

Advisory committee meetings are open to the public under the state's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which means that they also can be filmed.  The Virginia Coalition for Open Government contains extensive information about FOIA, in case parents encounter resistance when they try to attend or film other public meetings:

Below is a link to youtube, with videos from the February AAPAC meeting taken by parent observers.

AAPAC's agenda was reportedly structured so that the first half of the meeting was spent on foreign language instruction.  AAPAC members were given 15 minutes to meet in small groups and come up with comments on what they thought the 2013 AAP Study should cover.

The scope of the 2013 AAP study will be discussed on Monday by School Board members at their Monday instruction work session, at Gatehouse.  The instruction work session starts at 11 am, but the School Board web site as of Saturday 12 noon indicated that the discussion on the AAP Analysis still was scheduled to start at 1:30 pm.  See below.
