Since your husband is a member of LAP, I hardly think you an impartial point of view. LAP screwed up. But the rest of us are looking forward to the opportunity to finally having an aftercare option.
My opinion is mine alone and has nothing to do with the LAP board, which has always tried to work constructively with the principal. I share your hope that next year's program will be a success for all involved and am glad that more families will have access. I also hope that the new program will benefit from the current after care staff, as many of them have been caring for Lafayette's kids for years.
