[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The staff recommendation has been posted:

- Boundary study to include Chesterbrook, Churchill Road, Franklin Sherman, Kent Gardens, and Spring Hill

- Recommends excluding Haycock, Lemon Road, and Westgate

- Revisit AAP assignments for Churchill Road and Haycock

- Vague reference to possible MS/HS boundary changes for any schools that are split feeders (that would potentially mean Franklin Sherman and Spring Hill) [/quote]

Churchill is hardly an AAP center since both Spring Hill and Kent Gardens both have AAP. Churchill now only has one AAP class in third grade. Both SH and KG are much larger schools that essentially stopped sending kids to Churchill and kept their AAP kids. I think this is what FCPS wants? Doesn’t help KG overcrowding. [/quote]

Maybe they’ll flip the AAP assignments so the AAP center option for FS is Churchill Road and the option for KG is Haycock. FS sends more kids to Haycock than KG does to CR so maybe flipping the center options would add more AAP kids to CR. [I’m not necessarily advocating for this, but the staff language would clearly allow for that possibility.]

That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. My kids attend Churchill. Some classes have 20 and others are pushing 30 depending on the grade. It feels like there are fewer kids in the younger grades.[/quote]
