[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's a stupid complaint. would be thrown out of court if filed in court but it wasn't. Seeks no remedies - Hone says she just wants to bring attention to the "problem," i.e., blacks and Latinos are not identified early as being potential TJ material.  What, they don't take the CogAt like everybody else?  :roll:[/quote]

FCPS went with the Naglieri [first done for the class of 2012 -2nd grade and 2011-3rd graders in base schools] and dumped the Otis-lennen.  That was done years ago and there was a big new crop admitted to the GT centers for grade 4 after the Naglieri.  The idea was to pull in more URM but it added others as well.   That made GTC's overcrowded leading to boundary chnages and the opening of new centers.

At some FCPS schools over 30% now are qualified for level iv.

Those middle schools with centers vary in AAP program size.

total 7,8 plus aap[removed sped]=23,440
aap=3535 [assume 50% in each grade so 1767 in grade 8 ranging from 61 at Glascow to 259 at Carson]

Now do you all see why there are variations in the numbers for TJ from centers?[/quote]
