| Hopefully they will eliminate the centers. Totally unnecessary. |

| Yes. As for whether it will matter, it depends on the base school. An elementary school trying to do the "cluster model" where 2/3 of the class is below grade level is rightfully going to have a lot of problems convincing the parents who can afford to go private to stay. It will probably matter less at the middle school level but it's questionable whether the families who leave in elementary will want to return before high school. |

| I hope not. Our kid is thriving at the center school, and our base school doesn't offer local full time AAP. I'd rather not move again and be the guinea pig for a new program. |

| I hope not, too. Is it just reasonable speculation that centers will go away, or has this been proposed by school board members? |

| Yes, this is how they get rid of Centers. |

| Our base school is a center school and I'd be thrilled if they do away with centers. Our center has kids who live 20 min away and aren't even in the same pyramid except to attend the AAP center. I feel they should at minimum attend an AAP center in their own pyramid. |

For those of us who don't live in a base school that can field a full Level 4 class (or even a combined level 3-4 that runs the AAP curriculum) yeah, the centers are kind of important |

How does a boundary change inherently get rid of centers? I could see it changing which centers kids go to, but getting rid of the centers would be a separate decision from just adjusting boundaries. |

Students most impacted by getting rid of Centers would be the URM students. With Centers, URM students at least get to sit along side the more studious Asian and White students in the same class room. |
