[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Playing devil's advocate here.  Why does the school pay for AP tests for students?  Or SAT or PSAT?  That is for college and optional.  I feel like students should pay for that or apply for payment forgiveness.   Same deal with Athletics.  [/quote]

Based on comments  I heard at the June and May School Board meetings, paying for AP tests will be one of the first things to go.  One of the things that would change would be that the schools can no longer require students to take the AP test to get the GPA bump up- as tying it to taking the test requires the school system to pay for it.   If done, it will affect the HS ranking where AP test takings is a factor in the evaluations- so FCPS HS will drop in ranking (if that is important to you). [/quote]

I think this is a good thing. Too many kids getting stressed over taking so many AP tests.[/quote]

I think it is a good idea to have students pay if they want to take these tests. I'm also okay with switching IB to AP and charging $50 to pupil place. Some of these options make sense.  [/quote]
