[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cluster 2 families were told last year they had to send their kids to a new AAP program at Lemon Road ES with no track record, so Cluster 1 families can send their kids to a new AAP program at Cooper MS.  You don't have a right to send your kids to Kilmer or Longfellow just because you pay property taxes. [/quote]

Let me guess -- you are a Haycock/Longfellow parent?  You think you are the only one who has a right to a certain set of schools?  Whether that describes you or not, do you think you have "a right" to send your kids to the school they were assigned to when you bought your home?  If yes, I'd argue the long standing AAP assignments are not much different than boundary assignments -- many people buy homes taking the AAP program into account, especially long standing center assignments.  If you say no, then I'd argue that likewise, it may not be "a right' and we know it's potentially subject to change, but it's a strong expectation upon which people make home purchases and school commitments, and the school system should only be making major changes to these school assignments if it's the right thing to do educationally, not what they can get away with.[/quote]

No, we are not at Haycock.  We had kids at Kilmer when FCPS decided some AAP kids needed to move to a new center at Jackson due to overcrowding.  It seems to me this will be similar. [/quote]
