[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) I'd cut out Level IV centers and just implement the advanced curriculum across the board.  Keep the Sp. Ed. instructors to help those that can't keep up.

This gets rid of the expense of bussing, applications, the committees that go through all of the applications and the cost of testing in both 1st and 2nd grade plus the make up days for getting into the program while improving the quality of education for all FCPS students.

2) I'd also cut out many of the admin. paper pushing positions.

3) Also, change the school year to a modified calendar with multi-tracking.  Several studies have shown that it is more cost effective to multi track with modified calendar year when school capacity is too high.  Cheaper than modulars, additions, and new schools which require more staff and a it's a better use of existing facilities.  Bonus, no summer learning loss.

I agree the level 4 is bullshit. Keep the AAP centers, but really the enrichment at a level 4, non AAP center is a joke, at least at my child's school.[/quote]
