[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^I am speaking from personal experience.  It wasn’t an advanced class but a class only offered at the school virtually.  It was a simple “Sorry, it’s filled.” They gave my kid two other completely unrelated options that would fit in his schedule.  It’s about what fits in, not what you want at that point.  We certainly weren’t demanding a class spot and bus transportation.  Lesson learned, we are already researching other virtual options outside of FCPS for next year.

[b]I firmly think they need to stop the transportation for AAP centers and one of mine went through AAP but stayed at the base school.  There are so many other things to spend the money on.[/b]  [/quote]

No way they’re going to do this. It’s an equity issue. You’d basically be excluding all the kids whose parents don’t have the resources to drive them every day. [/quote]

They are starting LIV at every ES so there will be no need for Centers. Kids will be able to participate at their schools. Larger ES will have LLIV classes, smaller schools that cannot fill an entire class will end up with the cluster model.

Centers are not the answer for equity issues. The MC and UMC families at Title 1 schools use the Centers to leave their Title 1 school. It doesn’t actually do much for the Low SES kids at the title 1 schools. [/quote]

If they get rid of centers there obviously would be no need for bussing to centers. My point is that as long as centers continue to exist they will keep the bussing.  Agree that they’re moving towards doing away with the center model.[/quote]
