[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is considering grandfahtering current 5th graders only, but for many of current 4th graders moved to Haycock AAP due to last year base school boundary changes of Lemnon Road -Freedom Hill, Haycock is 3rd elementary school. If they have to move to new Center next year it would be 4 different shcools for 6years of elementary. Don't FCPS board members care about these kids before reassign them to Haycock ?[/quote]

So..the progression would be Freedom Hill to Archer (AAP) to Haycock (AAP) to a new Cluster 2 AAP, right?

Guess you could lobby to have the Cluster 2 AAP center based at Freedom Hill.  Or you could argue for grandfathering these kids at Haycock, given the number of schools they have already attended.  But, if others in Cluster 2 now at Haycock get sent to a new AAP center, while your kids remain at Haycock, that means they'd finish up at Haycock mostly with kids who are going to Longfellow, while your kids go to Kilmer.

It's not an easy situation.  Haycock is overcrowded, and the county did not anticipate the number of people who would move to the Haycock area or find a way to get into the Haycock center.  Had economic conditions been more normal, more people typically would have moved out of the area and some of the school enrollments would be lower.

As tough as it is, maybe it will help your kids be more resilient and used to meeting more people, and perhaps we should all be glad we live in an area that's been more fortunate economically than many other areas. [/quote]
