Below is the link to the brief filed by plaintiffs opposing the stay

I stopped reading when PLF made the argument that the Admissions Office was free to use the previous admissions process to select students instead of developing a new process. They plainly are not as two of the exams that were previously used no longer exist and developing a plan for assessing the Quant-Q, using it to cull a list of semifinalists, and then gathering teacher recommendations would almost certainly drive the process well into the fall.

FCPS has 5 MONTHS so that is plenty of time. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. :shock: [/quote]

They do not have five months. Families need to have time to determine whether or not they want to accept their offers of admission, then they have to register for courses, and then TJ has to see who registers for what foreign language and other electives and develop a schedule that works in the context of the school's other three classes.

The school administration has nothing to do with the admissions process. They received names last year on June 23rd and that was barely enough time for them to get prepared for the school year.[/quote]

They could ask Vern Williams to come up with a new test and he will have it in ONE week or ask couple of TJ math/science teachers to come up with a NEW test and they could do it in ONE week. No problemo. [/quote]

That's not how admissions processes work - and it's certainly not how admissions processes work for public schools.

And besides, if you give that process to Vern - as brilliant and generous as he is - you'll rightly have parents crowing about how his students will have a huge advantage.[/quote]

Then ask couple of math/science teachers at the predominantly URM HS to come up with one. I am sure Asian applicants would not be crowing about it at all as long as the test was rigorous and tough and impossible to prep. They would welcome it with open arms! [/quote]
