[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They would have to close an elementary school if they don’t move IS into elementary schools[/b]. Makes sense to me to use space in our own buildings for our pre k kids instead of paying tuition for them to attend the children’s school which is basically a private daycare. [/quote]

Says who? [/quote]

They already tried to close Nottingham and there was an article just today about excess capacity. I'm sorry IS has to go, but I don't see how APS can justify paying for students to be in a private daycare when we have seats sitting empty in our schools.

So…you just made it up that there’s any choice between IS and any other elementary school. Cool.

APS justifies putting students in expensive programs across the county— immersion, traditional, etc, why are disabled pre-K students for 600,000 the ones you want to hurt?[/quote] the cost of those programs is lower and serves more than 10 times the students[/quote]

And we're not being charged tuition/rent for space by a private daycare. If the Children's School wants to keep IS so badly, why don't they stop charging APS for the space? IS parents could try negotiating that. [/quote]

It sounds like the IS helps subsidize the Children’s School operations. That’s probably the real issue underneath the handwringing. It’s more sympathetic to act like disabled toddlers aren’t going to be offered services in a different location. [/quote]
