[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you don't get is that FCPS funds are limited.  Is FLES the best use of those funds?  I don't think so.[/quote]

That is not the point-FCPS has already made the decision with its tax payer funded pocketbook that fles is the best use of funds. That is why many schools have it.

The point is that we are ALL paying the same taxes and therefore there should be equal opportuniy to be considered (vs zero chance which is the policy is now for fles)

Fine if they don't want to offer at all schools due to cost but then they need to alter the current transfer request policy or lottery opportunity policy  to ensure equal opportunity to apply and be considered  (whether via lottery or other) vs what is happening right now which is total discrimination by locality ( there is zero opportunity for a student to be considered for fles if they are in a non fles boundary). Notice I said equal opportunity for CONSIDERATION vs access...that is really the issue here

The parents of students who don't get fles  are paying taxes just like others in other boundary areas and don't have a choice to pay less...they should be given a shot at those resources...

Totally ridiculous policy to deny access entirely...[/quote]
