[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you care about advanced academics, I urge you to get engaged in the budget process NOW. Last night, Dr. Reid’s new proposed budget included cutting almost all full-time AARTs at elementary schools. That means that all of you who have kids in local full-time services (aka Local Level 4) will be significantly impacted. You cannot effectively run these programs with a half-time AART.

It’s time to speak up. Contact your school board members and sign up for public discussion next week. This is moving fast. [/quote]
This is not accurate. The AART does not teach LLIV classes. LLIV classes have dedicated teachers. LII and LIII pullouts are either expansions of existing work by the teacher or the occasional AART pullout, but in my experience at TWO different elementary schools, the AART is more of an administrative position and not an instruction position. My kids only saw the AART at the beginning of the year when she was doing the dumb "Jacob's ladder" or "X + Y = z" lessons to gather materials for AAP applications. That doesn't require a full-time person, who the rest of the year is just pushing paperwork and helping in the office with testing, etc.

I'm so curious what OP thinks the AART does that warrants a full-time position. Please educate us, LOL.[/quote]
