[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting since there are other home-grown afterschool programs that can have 300+ kids, and that the parent board (after 40 years) just decided to disband rather than figure out how to scale up.  [/quote]

They looked at Janney+ model- if that is who you mean- but it's very complex and there were clearly some MBAs or similar at work and I don't think they felt they could replicate it.

Janney+ = (LAP + LEP, in the LEP's pre-Flex Model) + a sprinkling of language programs.  Totally achievable at Lafayette, but there is a key ingredient that comes with any change as the poster above mentioned.  Trust.[/quote]

Creating a Janney model at Lafayette would probably take a year of planning. Achievable, yes, but for 300 next year,  no way. Lafayette parents that want to see this should become a part of the ASAT group to help create this model for the future. There's no reason CLS has to become the long term solution (in fact, if they fail next year the school will be in the same place as it is now.) Long term a Janney like model is probably better for Lafayette, outsider providers and employees can change every year, this is the time for the Lafayette community to step up - LAP could have been this with the right leadership in place.[/quote]
