Grades 2-8 are down approx. 1,500 students from when the same kids were in Grades K-6 in the 2019-2020 school year. PK-1 enrollments are also down 250 kids each from the 2019-2020 school year. That doesn't count the projected additions in the PK-1 enrollments during that time.

But this is all "fake news."

I can’t believe this actually needs to be explained to adults, but the reason why the PROJECTIONS are irrelevant now is because all of the pre-covid assumptions and drivers that went into those projections are now irrelevant.

A lot has happened with Covid - beyond what happened with APS.

The PROJECTIONS just completed in February 2019 are so wrong, that APS and the County still used them for budgeting purposes. Plus, the PROJECTIONS are partially based on watching 10+ year trends, by watching senior classes each year be replaced by kindergarten classes of 500-600 kids. You can do so yourself on APS' enrollment website. They also look at births too, which are 5+ years in advance.

The post above just identified 2,000 kids who are no longer in the system. Classes in grades 2-8 don't typically just shrink by 10% from the time they were in grades K-6.

Hilarious how this information is so triggering. It's why you see the last fallback argument above is "f*** those parents who didn't want schools closed."

What a joke. Can't take them seriously at all.

One of APE's school board comments was on APS' record-setting unenrollment and getting families to re-enroll. You might not care as you probably see it as an ideological purge of those "open uppers" (as some have stated on Facebook), but those who want a strong public school system for this community do care.

I'm sure APS has better things to do than stroke the egos of people throwing tantrums.

Why on earth would APS want to re-enroll families who feel entitled to yell at SB members and other parents?

There are 3,100 missing children from APS (11.5% of projected enrollment). The fact you don't see that as a problem shows you're part of the problem.

The problem with APS last year was they listened to the entitled closed school activist screamers. The result of listening to those closed school activists is APS' 3,100 missing kids. Fortunately, the state of Virginia Democratic legislature and governor took the ability of APS to do so away this year via SB 1303.

The kids aren’t “missing”. People moved away or sent their kids to private. And % of a projection isn’t a real number.

Reaching out to THOUSANDS of families who don’t have kids in APS is a huge waste of time and money. Focus on the families who showed up and have serious, immediate needs.

When the information was released this summer, it was very triggering to the closed school activists and they unsuccessfully tried to pick it apart. Now, it's "f*** those people who didn't want schools closed."

They're going to be the first to start complaining when the axe comes to programs and teachers if those students don't return.

No, it’s f** those parents who wanted kids in the classrooms without any regard for health and safety.

F** those parents for their irrational, hysterical tantrums, yelling at the SB and other parents.

F** them for wanting their fragile egos stroked by APS.

You left. You made your choice. Now live with it and let the rest of us focus on the kids without your hysterics.

LOL, are they on a milk carton? You can't be missing "projected" students that were never in the system in the first place. Enrollment is down but you make your argument crappy by using silly made up numbers. Just say enrollment was X and now it is Y, if you know (I don't).

They don't care as the data shows how wrong and harmful their polices were (and that's even before you bring up the SOL scores). It's called cognitive dissonance. If the data showed 50% of kids left the system, then they'd still say it was great. These extremists aren't your audience.

Some people with special needs kids left APS because last year wasn't just a lost year, it was a falling way MORE behind year. Not only apes. Some kittens left too. mewo

No need to explain. APE lives rent free in these closed school activists' heads. They're even watching APE's open comments and I'm sure they're reading APE's newsletters and charts.

Great, now we have a group of pushy parents lobbying APS to ignore CDC, the actual health experts.

Brings me back to their science! data! yard signs from last year.

It was all so irrational and the opposite of science/data.

I hope they aren’t pushing against screening. Have yet to hear about that…

None of the APEs are signing their kids up for screening testing. They are encouraging others not to either, even though the testing will help to keep schools open, which they claimed to want. It's so twisted.

Well neither is bike lady. Is she ape too? And how could ape sign their kids up since according to the DCUM trolls they are all in private.

Yes she’s in APE

Bike lady is definitely not in APE.

Bike lady, like me, is on the APE FB page. The both of us used to try to fight back against the anti-mask part of APE (and some of the other right wing views on there). I think the post of us gave up (I haven't seen her post on there in a while).

Lawsuit dude peaced out months ago and it is refreshingly normal and respectful.
