[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know how long and extensive the process is for starting LLIV at your home school? I plan to encourage our school to look at this (don't know if they have already but i have not heard it's been discussed if so) but also wanted to get an idea from those that have already successfully campaigned for LLIV at their school - how long is that process and how much work is it really for the principal vs. not having LLIV?

Is it simply: 1) hiring an AAP teacher (who then uses the FCPS established AAP curriculum) instead of a regular teacher and 2) filling in the rest of the class with additional kids below the level 4 cut-off? Or more complicated than that? [/quote]

Typically, the board makes this decision. And I would assume (just from anecdotal information) if the school that you are interesting in starting LLIV has enough students to send an entire class (say, 20-25 kids per year) to a center, then LLIV would be investigated.

It takes a couple of year, min. from my recollection. I also know that it requires the numbers. Meaning, if you have like 5 AAP kids, it's not happening.[/quote]
