[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If I remember correctly, at the time, a vast majority of the kids in the Haycock AAP center were from Haycock.[/b] The total number of kids in the center from elsewhere was somewhere around 140, and when you considered those grandfathered and those from Chesterbrook, Franklin Sherman, and Timberlane, they moved a total of about 40 kids. It was hardly worth the drama and upheaval they caused the families and kids.

Most of the tension came from the fact that the Haycock base families, principal, and even teachers were campaigning to uproot these kids and send them elsewhere...and that is why there are still raw feelings years later. [/quote]

Nicely summarized.

How can it be that only 40 students moved when Lemon Road went to having no AAP center in 2012-13 to 123 students receiving LLIV services there in 2013-14.  Wouldn't most, if not all, of those kids have been at Haycock without the redistricting?  Haycock's enrollment only went down by about 50 students in 2013-14, but the school's enrollment has been growing for years.  It probably would have had over 1000 students in 2013-14, in a building that was originally designed for fewer than 800 students and about to get renovated, had FCPS not moved to the students to LR.

You have to remember that number includes at least  two classes of third graders who were newly eligible in 2013-2014, and students who were already eligible and attending lemon road that had chosen to stay at lemon road. [/quote]
