[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wealthy parents of all races were gaming the system. It wasn't about race. It was about expanding access to TJ beyond a handful of wealthy feeder schools. [/quote] It's was primarily about race. The FCPS board was concerned with the racial representation at TJ. That's what we heard during the headings, that's what we heard during the board meetings, that is what they commissioned reports to determine. Race was the primary driver.[/quote] There were a bunch of reasons that they changed the admissions, race being one, specifically increasing the number of Black students. Also increasing interest and applications which had been declining, especially in schools that did not traditionally send students to TJ throughout the county and region. And addressing cheating both in admissions and by admitted students all 4 years. Etc.[/quote]
