[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's the beginning of the end of centers.  There are several board members who don't like them.  I could see them saying LLIV is the same and costs less.  [/quote]

It the same thing and does cost less.  It's a sensible solution that's been a long time coming.[/quote]

In some schools where there is critical mass, it is similar. In other schools where is not critical mass, it is not. [/quote]

According to the power point they are looking at LLIV "at base schools who send students to overcrowded AAP Centers at both elementary and middle school centers."  It doesn't seem on be for all Center schools.  [/quote]

According to the report (see page 4):

http://www.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/9KJP2T628D4A/$file/FPAC%20Annual%20Report%20School%20Year%202013-2014.pdf

[quote]FPAC recommends FCPS 
consider a pilot to discontinue AAP centers and replace them with school-based Level IV 
centers, for example, at each elementary school currently feeding into the GBW center 
(Virginia Run 94%, Cub Run 93%, Poplar Tree 61%, Brookfield 96% and Greenbriar East 
105%). From the facilities perspective, this would allow FCPS to measure savings in 
transportation costs and emissions, impacts on student time in travel, and efficiency in space 
utilization. Educators may also want to consider measuring the impacts on student 
achievement among both AAP students and non-AAP students in the affected pilot schools, 
especially among students who are more likely to self-select out of center-based AAP. If 
successful, this pilot approach could serve as a best practice model for the future county-wide.
