[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 million (and I'd add, cut AAP centers.  Local Level IV at every school.)[/quote]
Some schools are over capacity even after shipping out all their AAP kids to a center.  They couldn't do Local Level IV if they wanted to.  
Others don't have enough AAP kids per grade to fill a classroom so they need the center. It's probably cheaper to run the busses to centers who can take them than to hire more teachers for half empty classes.[/quote]

Then obviously, all kids need to be returned to their base schools and boundaries redrawn based *only* on what those numbers look like.  [/quote]

Not all kids. You cannot, for example, get rid of the DHOH pyramid (CWES, Frost, Woodson). It's simply not a good use of resources to try and have all those translitorators and translators spread out across the county. It makes sense to bus kids who need cued speech, sign language, and other supports to one place. I assume there may be other situations like this. The transit costs - which are sometimes covered by things like a taxi where a bus doesn't make sense - have got to be less than the cost of spreading those staff out.

But sure, everyone else who isn't in a really special population like that.[/quote]
