[quote=Anonymous]While I can't comment on all center-based school, I have been at a non-center based school over 8 years.  Before our renovation, we had no art room and no music room and lots of kids were in trailers.  And we were sending lots of kids to the center-based elementary school, so it could have been much worse.  Once our school was renovated and expanded, we were able to have enough room for most programs, although every room is currently filled so there is no room for growth.  Our local school houses a language immersion program that draws many students from outside our cluster, and we need to have separate classrooms for those students.

In short, I'm not sure that overcrowding of elementary school buildings is in all cases is directly related to whether or not they house an AAP center.  Each school has different program and different needs.  The School Board should be taking a close look at the overcrowding issues on a school by school bases (or perhaps by cluster).

With regard to middle schools, under the staff proposal EVERY middle school would have their enrollment dramatcially change in additional to many school having to develop an entirely new program (for perhaps less than 20 students).  And I haven't seen any evidence that changing every middle school will have any impact on the issues at the elementary school level.
