Won’t the AART and Principal be mad if people start needlessly FOIAing them?

No. There are no principal placements in center schools.
Some people have said that their child was principal placed at Centers, so it depends.
In past 2 years lots principal places at center school[/quote
Two years ago, my kid had 15 classmates in a center AAP class. It was a good year. Two years later, my kid now has 28 kids in the class, filled with principal-placements, and word is MORE principal placed kids will be with them next year. Several kids needed to retake the math SOL because of poor scores. The quality of education is so much poorer than when my first kid went through the program five years ago.

Is your school using the cluster model? Just curious because it seems that many of the new programs are cluster models which means that Principal placement is probably less of a thing only because every child is suppose to be getting the LIV curriculum.
What is cluster model?
LIV kids are clustered in groups of 4-5 in Gen Ed classroom. The Teacher is supposed to use the LIV curriculum for all the kids with differentiated tasks for the different kids. At least, that is how it has been described here. Instead of having all the LLIV kids in one class, they are clustered in Gen Ed classes.
I wonder how the Principal is going to decide who would be in the same class as the level IV kids (probably just 1-2 classes out of 6 at my school).
You can FOIA it
Can you tell me more about how to do this?

You have to tailor the request, but you can get anything that doesn't contain PII from the principal or AARTs e-mail or computer

Can’t tell if you’re trolling or serious. Either way, it captures all that is disgusting and entitled about so many parents in FCPS.

I guess the cluster model is what VMPI proposed.
The Cluster model has nothing to do with VMPI. It covers all the subject. You are like a dog with a bone, just focused on chewing one thing and one thing only.

I know our school uses iReady and SOLs to determine Advanced Math and LIII participation, I would imagine that your school uses those same tests for Principal placement.
Ours is the opposite. They think that more marginal students benefit most from the exposure to the advanced curriculum. It works out because enough of them leave for math that the other kids coming in for advanced math don't over crowd the class

If you are in a Center School, there is no principal placement. That’s what sucks about Center schools.
