[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The taxpayers of Fairfax County will very generously offer to educate the KAA kids for free at their zoned public school.  That's a much better deal than the $11k a year they were paying before.  They even have a website where you put in your address and it tells you what school you go to.  How much more help could they possibly need?[/quote]

So let’s say you’re zoned to Westfield, your kid was doing IB at KAA, and you have no experience with FCPS.

You put your address into the boundary locator, find out you’re zoned to Westfield, and think you no longer can continue with IB.

FCPS can let counselors at KAA know they are available to speak with families about IB and AP within FCPS. They can speak about AAP at the ES and MS level.  That’s friendly and reasonable outreach. They obviously have no obligation to facilitate the continued operation of KAA or the creation of a new private. [/quote]

Sure, it those families can initiate those conversations. You all are asking for special treatment, not equal.[/quote]

Me all is just suggesting some basic decency under the circumstances. [/quote]

Nope, that’s not “basic decency” it’s special treatment. Tons of information is available on the FCPS website and you can also contact the system to learn about registration. FCPS has no reason to personally reach out to you. A building is for sale and they are buying it. That’s it.[/quote]

I had some sympathy for people who feel their boundaries have changed too often in the past or don’t like their current FCPS schools, but I’m really starting to hope this deal doesn’t close.

FCPS is obviously going to need to have some ongoing discussions with KAA folks about the facility as part of the due diligence process and sharing basic information about FCPS resources in the context of those discussions would be a small courtesy.  [/quote]
