[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to this, but have to agree with the PP that late applications should not be allowed. Its a good question why parents whose child does not make the 130 pool, after being notified before Christmas, then wait five/six+ weeks.  This is a good lesson for procrastinators.  If you are one of the parents who will submit the next day school opens, which seems to be the policy, why did you wait?[/quote]

Not all school sent the scores before Christmas.  Our scores didn't come out until the first or second week of January (DC is in the pool, though, so it wasn't a big deal for us).  One PP said her DC's scores weren't out until mid-January and she never got the notification letter although her child should be in the pool based on the scores.  You can hardly call it procrastination when the person never got the info.[/quote]

Good point--somebody should get tell Dr. Horn to fix this inconsistency in the process.  It is so simply to fix and sounds like some school principals should be called on the carpet to explain and maybe find new jobs.  I know in the private sector, this would not be tolerated--you'd be collecting unemployment and hoping to find a new job. Maybe these school adminstrators have tenure and have a "whatever" attitutude and no oversight by the FCPS adminstration.  If this were my school, I'd fire off an email to Dr. Dale and demand answers--he makes $200k+/year and should be accountable: "the buck stops here."[/quote]
