[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will have a rising 10th and 12th grader next year. If they make either move to this new school I will be so upset.  I don’t want my kids at two different high schools.  [/quote]

I thought I read that 10-12th graders could stay at their original school during a boundary change.[/quote]

From the FCPS website: “High Schools: When a boundary adjustment occurs at the high school level, attendance in the new school boundary shall be mandatory for incoming 9th grade students. Rising 10th-12th graders shall be given the option to remain at their current school or attend the school in the new boundary.”

But PP appears to be talking about KAA.  According to Policy 8130, "These allowances shall not be applicable in the opening of a new school, or in the closing of an existing school."
 
The references to "allowances" refers to the grandfathering that would apply to other boundary changes.

When they open a new school, they generally want to get it up and running as much as possible.  If they were starting with 9-11 grades at KAA, they might give 11th graders an option, but it sounds like they want to start with 9-10 grades, and students in those grades won't be grandfathered.  They could still try to pupil place. [/quote]
