DC tells me it's the same this year as any other year. I t think this is just C4TJ propaganda like their free meals hoax. [/quote]

You show up again!

Tell us what data FCPS have to override the FARMS question in the application.

Put up or shut up.

Repeating a lie without evidence does not make it the truth.  Unless you subscribe to Trumpian approach.  But nothing is beyond you

So what data does FCPS have on applicants’ income.  Tell us. [/quote]

Oh no. Are you afraid you’re going to get caught lying? [/quote]

I repeat

Please tell us what information does FCPS have to override the response to the FARMS question in the application.

Deal in facts, please not hyperbole. [/quote]

I am a DP and I repeat.

Oh no. Are you afraid you’re going to get caught lying?

You seem very invested in whether they can verify low-income or not.

Why are you afraid of a valid question? The worst part of the application process is its lack of transparency.  Just like college admissions…basically a holistic approach means we admit who the hell we fell like it within the weak parameters

I’ll take that as a yes.

Shouldn’t have lied.

DP, but at least for me, it's a different concern. Our child answered no to both questions and we fear that they were at a disadvantage by failing to earn experience points which many well-off families earned by answering yes. We have not been given any assurances that the TJ admissions office has done any verification of FARMS status, and it is thus reasonable to believe that they may have awarded experience points to anyone who answered yes without any verification.[/quote]

Anyone try asking the board whether they verify they meal answers?[/quote]

They don’t want to answer.  They let their minions like the PP above fight the battle for the narrative.  Accepting that the data was suspect would take away from their touted achievement of seating the most economically diverse class in the history of the school.  Noble intent but botched implementation but the political class will take whatever credit they can take- even if it is highly suspect.

For the record, parents have followed up with individual schools where they have access to real school staff - and the staff has confirmed that they have no access to any income data for enrolled families.  So there is that. [/quote]

This was already debunked. THey have the info for anyone who attends public.[/quote]

Nope they don’t. You are confusing family income data for family demographic data.  They have demographic data - you are right.  They don’t have any income data to override the response to the FARMS question in the TJ Application.  [/quote]

You're missing the point on purpose. They actually do have exactly which public school students are receiving free meals and the rumor that this was being abused spread by the C4TJ conspiracy theoriests was debunked. [/quote]

The school board has not stated this anywhere.  In fact it has been independently established that there is no basis to the false claim you are propagating.  A simple link to an official document could support your position.  There is none because your position is all fiction.  Again - show us the official document or back off your falsehood.[/quote]

Or, you know, YOU could provide supporting documentation - not a phone call - that suggests that the number 1 high school in the country has an admissions office that is relying on a checked box on an application to allot hundreds of points in a weighted process.

Rather than, you know, understanding that schools have been collecting this information for decades to determine who qualifies for free and reduced lunch.

And if your question is "well, then why offer the opportunity to check the box?" I would refer you to the fact that in FCPS, the minute you pop in your student ID number they could essentially pre-fill the rest of your initial application for you. You select your race and ethnicity, but they know that already.[/quote]

On the TJ admissions form race/ethnicity was already pre-populated. [/quote]
