[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will be next ? How much money will be used to get kids registered to the selected schools. To grandfather with or without transportation. When wolftrap AAP kids want to still go to Kilmervs Jackson and when Thoreau AAP kids stay and the school does not have space for all of the students. What a mess. [/quote]
Kilmer was already the AAP center for a small part of Thoreau (Stenwood and parts of Vienna ES) so presumably it will stay the AAP center for the Wolftrap kids.

The problem will be when Thoreau becomes an AAP center and they have to find more space for hundreds of kids. Pushing Oakton kids out of Thoreau to Jackson becomes the only option because they can’t send Wolftrap back to Kilmer without admitting their mistake. But space at Jackson might come into question too. I don’t know how many Oakton kids there are at Thoreau. They’re setting the stage for extreme lopsided split feeders. Kilmer will have that one Westbriar SPA going to Madison. Thoreau will have a handful of kids going to Marshall (Stenwood) or Oakton (probably Oakton ES) and Jackson will have a small number going to Oakton (probably Mosaic and part of Marshall Rd).

They could have pushed the change until AAP was put at Thoreau so they could thoughtfully balance the shift in students but they HAD to do it now so those poor Wolftrap families wouldn’t be separated. [/quote]
