[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our base school was Freedom Hill. This year we got switched to Lemon Road. My AAP kid was at Louise Archer and just started this year at Haycock. Not even 2 months in and Haycock wants him out. Yes, I'm pissed, and prepared to fight this with a lawyer if necessary. 4 schools in 4 years without moving is ridiculous. [/quote]
Your statement is incorrect. Haycock doesn't want him out. Haycock wants to keep the AAP program going strong and your child. FCPS wants him out. The folks at FCPS make these decisions NOT the admin at Haycock. This is what parents have been advocating for for a number of years(a renovation that would house the growing population) so please don't blame the actual school. Tuesdays meeting was the last ditch effort parents/members of the community had to try to get their points across to Janie Strauss and let her know the current renovation plan won't even accommodate the general population! It was finally eluded(but not stated) that they were indeed wrong with their progression reports for both the influx of AAP students and the enormous growth of the gen population. I question whether the people that state they were appalled at the attitude of the community at the meeting, I wonder if those people had been on board since the beginning of this process years ago and had attended the meetings-if they know the actual history. I feel it was a productive meeting with maybe a few out of place comments. The community was not going to let Janie get away with blowing off questions since they needed actual answers-Thats the majority of the reason why she was interrupted. Two new ideas were brought to her and she actually is going to act on them. That is progress.[/quote]
