We can save more than that in other places.  AAP is a feeder system to TJ, which is a huge economic driver for the area.

[b]No the AAP program is not solely the feeder system to TJ.  There are plenty of kids who make TJ without AAP in elementary and middle.  AP in middle maybe helps but elementary absolutely not!

First, start with all the duplicative music programs. There are lots of music programs that run after school and need not get caught up in the school day.

Second, cut the after-school programs at the middle schools. Then the late bus runs would be eliminated.
[b]Agree, nice but not needed just a babysitter.[/b]

Third, eliminate all foreign language instruction.
[b][b]Don't agree here - Talk about IB, TJ, AP, College significance

Fourth, we need school buildings -- look at existing school and county inventory and look for sites where administrative facilities can be retrofitted into school space.
[b]Agree[/b]

That should save some funds.[/quote]
[b]Yes there is ways to streamline and improve[/b][/quote]
