Yep. We got the decision at close of business the Friday before Spring Break, even though the website said they would be later.

I think the date is when we can expect the results.

Normally, decisions are released the Friday before the start of spring break. Decisions are dropped and then immediately after, the offices are closed. I would expect a similar pattern this year based on human nature, but I don't think anyone knows for certain.


Again, the FCPS website says April 4-5th. Do they always say it will be after spring break but release it two weeks earlier than that?


They don't normally publish a date. At least they didn't when my older 2 kids were in the process.


They have the past bunch of years, I know they did 3 years ago when my son was going through the process and I remember it being listed the last few years.

The FCPS website does generally indicate a LATER date than when the actual release takes place. I suppose the unusual thing this year is that spring break is earlier than normal.

Packets, not jackets. Clearly my child has a better chance at AAP than I do!

It’s nice to see some humor and humility on this forum

The committee met a couple weeks ago. We'll see if everything can be processed by Friday.

Does anyone have any inside knowledge?
