Why is this cheating? In many cases pupil placement is now full due to FCPS's own mismanagement, and so we have lost our right to request a pupil placement. Why must I be penalized and lose that fair privilege to pupil place just because we're aging into the HS age at a later time than people who pupil placed before us? It's not fair that we have lost this opportunity.[/quote]

Did FCPS end pupil placement for reasons of academic programming (like allowing a student to leave an AP HS to attend the nearest IB HS instead, or vice versa)? Not that I know of. How have you "lost your right to request a pupil placement"? Asking seriously. I have never been aware that for high school, there was any pupil placement allowed except for AP/IB programs or for instances where a student had been severely bullied or had other issues that meant he or she had to be separated from other students at the base HS. Maybe some form of sibling placement. But other than those, what "right" got altered that affected your kid(s)?[/quote]

Referring specifically to AP/IB pupil placement. For those of us in the southern/central part of the county, WSHS and Woodson are now closed to transfers for AP because they're beyond capacity. LBSS has capacity but that's such an enormous school already that we had reservations about it. In any case, with so many overcrowded schools now the options for pupil placement have dwindled across the county. Although the issue is primarily in the eastern central half where IB is concentrated.[/quote]
