[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New petition to throw money at Haycock so it somehow won't be 50% overcapacity

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/reduce-class-size-at-haycock/[/quote]

Does anyone know if this passed?  I'm curious, not a Haycock parent but our school does feed into Haycock for AAP.  Thanks[/quote]

Why does Haycock need more money that everyone else?

If they are that overcrowded, shouldn't they just shrinkg the borders and rezone the school?[/quote]

This petition related to a budget approved in May 2012.  Haycock gets less money per student than most schools in the county, not more, because most of its students come to school well prepared and not in need of remediation.  Class sizes remain larger than average for the county.

Overcrowded classrooms and overcrowded schools are two different things.  FCPS will relieve some of the overcrowding at Haycock by moving Cluster 2 AAP students to Lemon Road, but the individual classrooms are likely to continue to have above-average class sizes.  In comparison, a school like Bailey's ES is also overcrowded, but individual class sizes remain below the county average.   [/quote]

Are the classrooms still above average?  My AAP child there is in a class that is smaller than my non-AAP child at another nearby school.  Last year, the Haycock student's class size was 32 compared to 24 or 25 this year.   [/quote]
