[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we all just agree that we hate having AAP Centers?[/quote]

I can certainly agree with this.  They create far too many issues, resentment, and divisiveness.  [/quote]

I can certainly disagree with this as my student does not have a peer group at the base school. (He was subjected to frequent bullying, among other things.)[/quote]

When my (Gen Ed) child was being bullied, I tried to have him transferred to another school, and these were the requirements I had to meet:

FCPS considers transfer requests for [i]very specific reasons[/i] as outlined in Regulation 2230.  They are:

Family Relocation* Attach a lease or deed for primary residence in requested school's boundaries.
Child care hardship (elementary only)* Attach affidavit for Student Transfer Child Care Requests.
Medical, emotional, or social adjustment* Attach current independent, detailed professional documentation.
FCPS parent employee working 20 or more hours per week* Provide work location.
High school curricular program* Attached appropriate Letter of Understanding.
Sibling* Name of sibling and grade at requested school.
Senior* rising 6th (5th grade for Poe, Holmes, and Glasgow feeder schools), 8th, 12th.
* Applicants must provide required documentation to support the transfer request.

Why is it that my child must meet one of these very specific criteria, yet your child can simply elect the center school option because he doesn't have a "peer group" at his base school?[/quote]

NP. The pop's child wasn't moved because of a peer group issue. The pop's child was eligible and elected to be part of the AAP program. The county set up the option for her child to attend an AAP center school. She chose that option. The end.[/quote]
