[quote=Anonymous]I had no idea how deep into the equity grift ASB is.  I think she purposefully hid this as she wanted to come across as another North Ridge mom wanting schools open.  But with the reality that English Language Learners, and the financial and logistical demands they place on ACPS/ACHS, is a significant contribution to the system's precipitous decline into chaos I find it really alarming and frustrating that she is a signatory on this.  https://www.elequity.org/#statement

ACPS has always had a priority and reality problem, but I have a serious question, who is going to pay for this all?  The budget only supposes a 1% enrollment increase per year, yet certain schools, including the high school, have seen almost 7% this year, some ESes over 10%.  ACPS chooses to "educate" english language leaners until age 22.  So, yes, there are 22.5 year olds in your child's gym class.  The Commonwealth does not fund these adult students, as it is optional for districts to enroll adults.  VA law allows districts to charge tuition to adult students, yet ALX seems to think that people will just continue to pay 8-12% more a year in property taxes instead of doing this.  The school is already physically exceptionally overcrowded.

My last question is can we at least tell the 20 year-old who is smoking weed/fentanyl at school and fighting to just never come back to school?   [/quote]
