[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school has a lottery...I was e-mailed by the AAP teacher and told that the lottery is luck of the draw (they put all students in lottery)....which I find crazy, I mean if you are going to take the time to screen and have people appeal etc....then when there is room in the class just make it an open lottery!!! WHAT is this about????? It should be a tiered selection...by scores/screenings or teacher selection to make this supposed level 4 class equal in student capability or I don't even see why they have level 4???? Just is so frustrating! From a parent who's daughter achieved the same scores as 2 of her peers who are selected for level 4??? So it has been none the less quite a frustrating journey for us and the only difference I have noted between peers that are receiving services and us is that we are not locals we are military.....and I have noted this correlation through several schools in our local area...which are very tight knit groups and have lived here forever.[/quote]

We are military, and all of the military families we know had a very easy time transitioning their kids into AAP.  All (about 1/2 dozen kids) were accepted first round.

In fact, I think military who pcs into the district have a much easier time than the "locals".  Yes, we have to hand deliver our records and apply in person, and we can't apply until our leases start.  But, since we are applying late summer the turnaround is about 2 weeks from packet submission to acceptance. Every military child I know who applied was accepted, except for one.  From our experience the district is very accepting and accomodating of military families.[/quote]
