[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A question.  My DS is in 5th grade at Crossfield.  He is in the LLIV class there, but is center eligible.  We chose to leave him at the school he has attended since K, as opposed to moving him.  If Crossfield becomes a Center, as proposed, would they still have a LLIV class, or would the two merge?  Would this open a can of worms of more children, who are Center eligible, but  had previously chosen to attend LLIV, and therefore were not considered in the Center numbers?

[b]Actually, the one thing I have not loved about LLIV is being with the same.exact.group. every year, which is not always ideal, when you want a little social variety, so I would welcome the opportunity for things to be changed up.[/b][/quote]

Only guessing here as nothing is really known, but I would guess the Local Level IV option would go away for Crossfield. They would not "merge" because the Center has its own placement criteria (AAP Center-eligibility as determined by Central Office) and the Center-eligible students from Fox Mill would join the AAP Center class(es).  Since there are currently 22 Center-eligible-and-Center-enrolled students in 5th grade from Crossfield and 15 Center-eligible-and-Center-enrolled students from Fox Mill, there should be two full classes of then-6th-graders in the new Crossfield AAP Center.  Now if a few of the students move away (?) then the principal may opt to go with a single AAP Center class of roughly 32 (or so) students.

Of course this depends on what happens with the proposal recommendation.

(You are not alone on your "I wish there were at least two classes to mix things up" point either.)[/quote]

So the school might lose its local level IV status?  Then what happens to the kids who did not qualify for center but were principal placed in local level IV?  I guess they get moved back into the general ed classes?  Yikes!  I wonder if the district has even considered what opening that can of worms will do.  Well, you reap what you sow.[/quote]
