[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy solution to Bailey's: cancel the magnet program.  If that is not enough, cancel the immersion program.

Two extra programs in a school as overcrowded as Bailey's defies common sense.[/quote]

I agree.  FCPS put in those magnet programs at Hunters Woods and Bailey's because there was not the courage to do boundary adjustments.  I was surprised to hear the dedicated rooms beyond normal allocations for those programs at Hunters Woods.  AAP when it was GT was placed at many schools FCPS could not otherwise fill or was reluctant to do base school boundary changes.

Hunters Woods and Bailey's Magnet programs cost about 450,000 plus another 100,000 for the bus for a total of about 550 /school.   AAP center bus was 2.5 million and the TJ bus was 1,15.  So any board member who voted against AAP students at their base school with 3 levels of classes is fiscally irresponsible.

I do wonder if it illegal to have classes at some schools and not others in the same school division with no real reason or policy.   [/quote]
