[quote=Anonymous][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]

DP. We lived in an area where there was no LLIV and very few kids were selected for AAP. My son’s bus only picked up center kids and had fewer than 10 students on it all year. Most, but not all, qualified for FRM. There’s something fishy about certain schools sending so few kids to centers to be sure, but the answer is not to punish the few who have no other way to access AAP and probably couldn’t get there otherwise. I agree that if there LLIV at a school, transportation shouldn’t be provided. [/quote]

When I was a kid, all the magnet kids would take their regular bus to our base school and then hop on a bus together to their magnet school(s). It makes so much more sense than to send a bus around a large area to pick up onesy twosy kids from neighborhoods. And actually, I think some private school kids took public school busses and were bussed to their private schools. There must have been some agreement between Catholics and the public school system. I think this makes the most sense for FCPS and was actually really surprised that's not how it was done here (my kids are LLIV I didn't want to deal with the hassle of sending them to the center, frankly).[/quote]
