[quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised the report didn't talk more about the Expansion Proposal and the dilution of the centers.  The creation of the center at Navy ES seems on the surface to solve the overcrowding at Hunters Woods.  But it also broke apart the center model.  Before 3 schools, Navy, Waples Mill and Crossfield all went to HW and all the kids continued onto Carson together. (HW base school kids go to Hughes for MS).  Now the only school assigned to HW AAP center is Waples Mill.  Just 30 or so children a year from waples will be sent to HW, a different pyramid school.  The center at Navy will open but Crossfield has a local level IV program that parents have been very aggresively pursued to stay at.  So the 3 schools which before made the center are now going to be at 3 seperate locations, some at HW, some at Crossfield and some at Navy.

By offering local level IV services at all of the schools you are slowly getting rid of the centers.  That seems to be a big push, and in this case a back door way to get rid of the centers.

If you look at the other 2 new centers at Westbriar and lemon Road they are doing the same thing.  Offering local level iv services at all the base schools.  It's great parents have options, but it will be easier to get rid of centers once all these local options become popular.[/quote]
