[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't make sense, but the proposals don;t make a ton of sense.  They are trying to arrange centers by middle school, but that doesn't work everywhere.  It doesn't work for KG because the AAP center for Longfellow is Haycock, which is overcrowded.  The KG kids used to go there and were re-routed to Churchill about 6 years ago.  The initial task force plan would have moved them back into Haycock, but they are not doing that because there is no space.  Over 100 kids are being moved out of Haycock this year and the school will still be overcrowded.  The most likely scenario is that in 1-2 years, Haycock will no longer be a center because the base school is too large to fit a center.[/quote]

That is far from the most likely scenario.  The most likely scenario is that Haycock will continue to have a center.  It will just be smaller than it is now once Cluster 2 kids are sent to other schools.[/quote]

Believe that if you want, PP.  For everyone else that's interested, look at the numbers.  They are doing a renovation that will not be large enough for all of the students once it's done (even without the Cluster 2 kids).  Look at the new CIP.  It talks about AAP realignment for Haycock.  The reality is that the base school is too large to accommodate a center as well.  Once they re-route FS, CB and TL, it will no longer be a center.  It will be Local Level IV.  Haycock base students make up 40% of the center now anyway, so if they eliminate the other schools, they fit in the building.  Janie said as much in recent meetings when she said they'd eliminate "programs" to make the school fit in the building.  What else can they eliminate?  You don't have to believe me.  Look at the numbers and the documentation.  A center and a huge base school just will not fit in the building they are building.[/quote]

The CIP talks about a "potential AAP program reduction," which is consistent with moving the Cluster 2 kids to another school.  In comparison, the CIP refers to "potential for AAP relocation" for Hunters Woods, which is consistent with eliminating the center there.

If the Cluster 2 kids get moved, Local Level IV is an option at other schools, and the addition is built, I don't see why Haycock wouldn't remain an AAP center with some students coming from other schools.
