[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also eliminate out of district permits for kids of teachers who put their kids in whatever school they want. There's a student in my DC's grade who went to all of ES and now MS completely out of her zone (think Reston instead of Herndon), then they'll go on to the HS where Mom teaches. How has this kid been in a completely different FCPS Region for seven years? Five more to go, and she's been preceded by an older sibling.[/quote]

This should be allowed as a benefit for teachers.

We need teachers and allowing their kids to attend their school is a small accomodation that benefits far more people than it harms.[/quote]
+1 we already have a teacher retention problem. Let's not make it harder on them.[/quote]

I don't have an issue with the kid going to the school where Mom/Dad teaches. But the other years, kid should be at base school and not in any school the parent chooses.[/quote].

This is not the policy, what they are doing is legal within the standards set by FCPS.  In a teacher shortage, it would be insane to change this.

"A parent resides in Fairfax County and is a FCPS employee, defined as a person working in a budgeted Full Time Equivalent (FTE) position (FTE transportation and food services positions included) and eligible for leave, retirement, and health benefits coverage.  Student transfer requests will be for the school in which the parent is employed or for the school closest to the employee’s work location.  If the request for student transfer is to the school in which the parent or guardian is employed, capacity issues will not prevent the transfer."
