[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guarantee that there are parents of admitted students hiring lawyers to respond.  FCPS caused this situation by not asking the question clearly for two years in a row despite many parents pointing out the issues.

If admitted parents band together, I don’t see how FCPS can fight them affectively.  There are statements on the FCPS website, in email blasts and in news bulletins from school board members. Many of these contain the words “all students are eligible for free meals”.

The TJ admissions office should have done their jobs and figured out a solution BEFORE sending out offers.  Not after the sh!t is already out of the horse.  [/quote]

Claiming ignorance isn’t a good look for a TJ applicant. Really, you don’t have the critical thinking skills - or ethics - to answer appropriately?

It’s disingenuous to argue that you weren’t aware of the meaning.

[i] A holistic review will be done of students whose applications demonstrate enhanced merit; 550 seats will then be offered to the highest-evaluated students. Students will be evaluated on their grade point average (GPA); a student portrait sheet where they will be asked to demonstrate Portrait of a Graduate attributes and 21st century skills; a problem-solving essay; and experience factors, including students who are economically disadvantaged, English language learners, or special education students.[/i]

Nothing here about pandemic lunches.

The whole idea of experience factors as a relevant factor in TJ admissions is preposterous BS perpetrated by a bunch of woke fraudsters in Gatehouse and on the School Board who would be in remedial classes if they ever had to return to school themselves. Every time you think they can’t do more to destroy TJ they come up with something new.  [/quote]

Sounds like someone is sad their kid is about to have an offer rescinded [/quote]
