[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw I learned an interesting stat at the 2E session of the FCPS special ed conference -- Only about 60-something perent of the "in pool" kids get into AAP.[/quote]

And half of appeals get in.

These facts have been posted here before. [/quote]My guess is that some of this is related to spots left vacant when parents decline center placement.  It's kind of like being wait-listed in college, but rather than ranking and maintaining a waitlist, they see which parents will appeal.  I think AAP sounds nice in theory, but I think actually moving schools is a tougher decision.  There's also the people who won't send their kids but were selected anyway -- I know someone who didn't submit a single thing for her in-pool 2E student and he still got in on test scores, GBRS, and teacher work samples.  She'll elect for whatever L-III and L-IV services can be provided at base because they're very happy with the local school.  His center spot can go to an appeal.[/quote]
