[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I emailed FCPS about this back in 2010.  At that time, they said they didn’t capture statistics for redshirting.

More info in this old thread: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/356621.page[/quote]

Interesting! Are you the one who analyzed the VA DOE data or was that someone else?[/quote]

It was another poster who analyzed the VA DOE data - not me.

And to 17:51, I agree.  Capturing the information is the first step in providing another data tool.  What are the patterns observed? Is redshirting on the rise, decline, or held fairly steady over the last 5-10 years? How does the information correlate with other measures, if at all?  What are the policy implications?

It would be nice to have a dataset to examine rather than the anecdotal reports here on DCUM.

(To the poster who said they planned the timing of their pregnancy to avoid having a child in certain months and suggested others do the same: you are absurd.)
