[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the response I received from FCPS:

Supervisor Palchik’s office shared your questions about AP testing with us. After discussing the matter with FCPS staff, I wanted to ensure you had the following response.

FCPS provides thousands of AP assessments over several days across our high schools.  This volume requires complex scheduling, the use of all available staff for appropriate proctoring, and diligent use of space and other resources to ensure all testing requirements are met. In addition, FCPS is required to meet all approved accommodations for students with IEPs or Section 504 plans, which puts an additional strain on school resources. This all takes place while school is in session. 
 
The school division believes it would put an unmanageable burden on school staff to open testing to non-FCPS students. Thus, FCPS’ practice mirrors the practice of our surrounding school divisions. Private schools complete the process to get their courses authorized by the College Board, and they are able and should be expected to provide the exams to their students.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

OP - I think part of the problem is that you are offering way too much information.  [/quote]

Also going straight to the superintendent instead of working the system and figuring out the appropriate interlocutor. That's going to get people's backs up.[/quote]
