[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one would really care if Eid was an "O" day if FCPS hadn't also decided that NO ONE can take AP tests on "O" days!

That is where FCPS screwed up big time.

Omeish isn't fulfilling her duty to represent the Muslim population very well if she wasn't able to tell the SB about Eid being lunar-dependent.

I won't be voting for her again.  Of course, it'll be too late by the time there is another election.  My youngest will be in his last year (in 2024) and the damage from all the SB has already been done.[/quote]

So the rest of the country can take AP tests on scheduled days, but FCPS is basing their calendar on moon sightings?[/quote]

Yes.

Also, FCPS kids get delayed scores which means they don’t have the info they need for college registration. And they get a different test curved it’s only makeup kids.  Most of which will now be FCPS.  Normally, our kids do well because we compete with Alabama. Now, it’s less than 10% of FCPS kids getting a 5 on some tests.

Plus, kids in Spanish and Chem literally cannot sit for both.

This screws our kids all over the place. [/quote]

I don't have kids in high school myself, but if I did I'd do a deep dive into whatever the regulations are for the organization that administers the AP exam and compare that to FCPS decision, which isn't even supported by their own regulation, and see if there's anyway to prove their decision is impermissible.[/quote]
