[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an AAP teacher at a Local Level 4 and totally agree that transportation should not be given to a center if the school offers Local Level 4. Every single school that goes into our center has a Local Level 4. It is totally unnecessary to waste bus runs. [/quote]

Again, these are not empty buses!  The buses are mostly base school kids, with a few AAP kids who are picked up first.  It makes minimal to no difference to how many buses are needed for the school.[/quote]
Often, the geography doesn't work out for the bus to pick up out of bounds AAP kids and then in-bounds kids.   For my kids' base and center, the AAP bus ended up with maybe 15 kids riding it total.  So, an entire bus run was wasted to take 15 reasonably affluent kids to the center when the base school already had a LLIV and where the center was within reasonable walking distance for at least half of the kids.

Eliminating AAP busing to kids who have a LLIV but opt for the center would free up at least 5 bus routs from my kids' center alone.  [/quote]
