[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am thrilled about the new center at Poplar Tree.  I have a student from GBE who is now going to GBW for 3rd grade AAP.  The school is packed!  Now I'm just crossing my fingers that they require the Poplar Tree (and Colin Powell? or Brookfield?) AAP 3rd graders to go to Poplar Tree next year so that my DD will benefit, rather than just future GBW AAP students.  I heard that over 30 Poplar Tree kids who are AAP eligible chose to go to GBW rather than stay for the Local Level IV program.  Nuts.[/quote]

Also - I wanted to add some additional comments.  While the population of GBW would be decreased with a possible center opening at Poplar Tree, have you thought about other impacts?  For example, volunteer base will go down at GBW.  From what I understand they already had difficulty finding people for the PTA positions.  Some teachers will have to leave GBW as they will have a surplus of teachers.   If they make the switch next year, some kids will have attended three different elementary schools in the past three years.  I know I wouldn't want that happening to my child.[/quote]

There are elementary schools in FCPS with 400 children total. I think GBW should do fine with a reduction in their numbers.[/quote]

Absolutely. At Colin Powell, we almost didn't have a PTA this year due to lack of parents to volunteer. We have 1000+ students. It has nothing to do with numbers.

I wish AAP kids were required to stay at CP. Many leave, as PP mentioned, for the "prestige" factor of GBW.M[/quote]
