[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has been strangely silent on a press release.  I’m also very curious about how the “free meals for all” policy affected the applicant pool including special education, etc.  [/quote]

Based on the article, I don’t think any kids with IEPs were admitted this year.  The Special Education experience factor is tiny (20Pts?) and the free meals experience factor is 90 points.  If you had a school where a lot of kids checked yes to the meals questions, that would overwhelm any kids that might have the special education.  [/quote]

Has FCPS issued a press release?  The Washington Post article was strangely silent on Special Education.  [/quote]

Don't a lot of parents also buy those designations with private diagnosis to get their kids extra time on exams? I read this had tripled over the past decade especially at upper middle class schools.[/quote]

What you are thinking of is a 504 plan.  Those are quite easy to get.  Accommodations (like extended time) cost the school system almost nothing so they don’t fight if if the parents provide data.  504 are not legally binding on the school.  An IEP is a different story.  It’s a legal document and involves the provision of special education services and goals that are tracked quarterly with data sheets.  IEPs are not easy to get.
