[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an AAP parent, I would absolutely welcome a change that required kids who have LLIV programs at their base schools to go to the base school. I've seen no evidence whatsoever that my kid's academic experience was enhanced in any fashion by attending our center and certainly not when you consider the effect of transportation across town. Send 'em back, I say. No need for all this nonsense.  [/quote]

Another AAP parent who feels the same way.  Send everyone back to their base schools.  Problem solved.[/quote]

Not going to happen. [/quote]

I think it will.  If FCPS were actually to put this to a vote, they would see that a majority of residents favor ending center options, especially in areas with already large LLIV populations.[/quote]

They will not post it as a ballot question. [/quote]

How on earth would you know this?[/quote]

Election law.[/quote]

[quote]Local Issues
Local issues are permitted to be placed on the ballot only if the question is authorized by statute or by charter. In such cases the question is specifically stated in either the county, city or town charter or in the section of the Code of Virginia that permits the question. Example: The Direct Election of School Board is found in § 22.1-57.2. The signature requirements also are included in that section.

You can determine which issues are permitted by law by going to http://lis.virginia.gov/000/src.htm and submit a search using the keyword: “referendum”.

The Code section that authorizes the issue also will specify if it can appear on the ballot as a result of voter petition.[/quote][/quote]
