[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think all parents should advocate for their children. This would include those that live in the base area. The general ed kids don't have the option of going to another school. I hope FCPS takes that into account when the school population goes over 1,000 students next year. When does the tipping point come when the school has too many students?  It really isn't fair to make the students who live in boundary go to a giant elementary because cluster 2 kids don't want to go to an AAP center within ther cluster when it becomes available.  Even Janine Strauss stated that it's not in the kids' best interests to go to large elementary schools. I hope the base parents fight for the best education for their kids. [/quote]

You could argue the equities all sorts of ways.  The AAP parents don't want their kids to change schools again, unless it's necessary.  They could argue that parents of gen-ed students bought into the Haycock district knowing that it had a large, and growing, AAP program.  They could argue that some of the boundaries could be adjusted to expand the districts for Lemon Road and Franklin Sherman, and so on.

Your kids are important.  So are the kids of the AAP parents ASSIGNED to Haycock.  There's no need to make this as us-vs.-them debate, unless you're just trying to stir things up.  It's taken far longer than many would like, but there will be a solution here.   [/quote]
