[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hummmmmm.....Lemon Road is the new AAP Center, but with the establishment of Local Level IV at Westgate and Shrevewood - will there be a critical mass?  Doubt it - sounds like the start of the end of the Center program - you should speak up now if you want to maintain Centers....the kids that suffer at the ones in weak local schools - they will miss their opportunity - is that fair and equitable?[/quote]

I think there will not be enough kids for a Level IV AAP Center at Lemon Road[/quote]

Agree.  Now that they've kicked the Cluster 2 kids out of Haycock, there is no concern with making sure they get something similar to what they were getting before.  It's almost as if they are trying to doom the Lemon Road center before it opens.  If half of the kids choose LLIV, there will only be about 1 class per grade at the center.  How is that a center?[/quote]

God - do the Cluster 2 people ever stop complaining?  Sheesh.   [/quote]

Let me guess what school you are from.  Our kids are out of your school in a couple months, could you please just be nice until then?  We're just trying to get them something roughly equivalent to what they had before.  One classroom of kids will not be the same as a huge center.  It just can't be.  IMO, they should have had Shrevewood and Westgate hold off on starting Local Level IV until the Lemon Road center was up and running (1-2 years).  They needed to give it a fair chance to work.

I will go to the meeting and am trying to be positive.  I think you can't just sit around and wait to see what the district is going to do, though, when the predictive signs are not in your favor.

I am really excited about the Lemon Road community because I've hard really good things about it and the parents I've met so far seem really great.  My concern is that with local level IV, the center will not be large enough to be a good center.  If you look around, the "good" centers seem to be the larger ones.  The smaller centers seem to flounder. It's nothing negative about Lemon Road as a school.  I just think FCPS is setting the center up for failure and I really don't want to see that happen.  I wouldn't think the other Lemon Road families would want that either.  The Lemon Road community seems happy to have a center, so I can only assume they want it to be a good one, not just a center in name only.[/quote]
