[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ACPS stopped sending kids to TJ about 12 years ago. Every time the budget comes up there is an outcry that schools aren’t  funded enough or well enough. So kids not going to TJ won’t fix a budget issue.

TJ limits the number of kids surrounding counties and cities can send. And then each county or city limits the budget allocated so further limiting the number of slots. APS could reduce their slots at TJ but it’s maybe it’s a case of you give them up you don’t get them back. Also I think it goes unnoticed by FCPS parents a lot of the time that slots at TJ are taken up by out of county students (exception is London) That could become a new cause celebre for some parents though and who knows maybe Fairfax reduces the slots, charges even more or eliminates them

It might be once the career center is finished then they plan would be for APS to drop their slots.

Maybe APS can raise some money by offering  a select number of slots to Alexandria City residents to attend APS and then charge the City tuition or heck even the parents. Non religious private high schools close to Alexandria city are not exactly plentiful. [b]Wakefield can be offered at a discount. APS overcrowds the schools anyways what’s another 10 students here and there [/b]?[/quote]. Yes, I’m sure Wakefield is full of Alexandria students , and that’s got to FULLY STOP.  [/quote]

APS should do an address check of all the kids at Wakefield. Definitely abuse going on there. [/quote]
