[quote=Anonymous]I suspect the principal/teachers aren't real fond of appeals b/c it messes up their teacher/funding ratios. The pricipal at the AAP orientation told us to make sure we sent in our "yes" letter by May 19 b/c that's when they make the funding decisions for how many teachers she can staff for 3rd grade. She said "even if you aren't sure you are going to go, just mark it YES and turn it in b/c that will help me more than if you say NO and change your mind later." I imagine that kids admitted on appeal can really increase class sizes without providing additional funding b/c the appeal decisions come out too late. 10 kids on appeal can increase classes by 3 kids each.... which might have been enough to get another teacher position if those 10 had been included in the original count. It's not the appealing parents' or kids' fault... it's just a problem with their funding deadlines.[/quote]
