[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that a lot of the "extra" money at the poorer schools is due to additional federal funds.  
I'm not sure if the Free and Reduced Lunch funds (federal), ELL instruction (also federal), Special Education funds (is that federal?) are included.

Is there any Title I in high school?  That is definitely federal funding.

However, special programs like Academies would also bring extra funds to the school.

So, I don't think FCPS is shorting the schools in wealthier areas like Langley.  But, if the Langley parents are upset about paying more taxes and getting less, I understand that there is a school that is very close to many of the families that receives far more funds.[/quote]

They can get more for their tax dollars and shorten the commute time for their kids. That means more sleep for their kids. And less competition for the top schools. UVA is easier to get into now!

Sounds like a win![/quote]

You lost your campaign to get Langley kids moved to Herndon. Are you really going to cry about it for the next five years?  [/quote]

It’s actually your loss because UVa prefers Herndon kids. DP[/quote]

There’s more to life than UVa, even assuming that’s true (of course, you provided no support). [/quote]

Every year there is a meltdown in the college forum when Langley kids don’t get in UVA and VT. They obviously would have a better shot from Herndon where they would stand out AND liberal AO’s prefer kids from schools like Herndon. [/quote]

DP.  I'm a regular on the college forum.  No one ever talks about which specific high school their kids go to when they throw their tantrums about not getting into VT and UVA.  They simply say "FCPS" or "NoVA public".  Stop making silly statements.[/quote]

This thread doesn’t reflect a “meltdown,” just information-sharing.  [/quote]

How many times do we have to explain this to you [/quote]
