Look at the program budget - about 10m plus.

1. Transportation budget reduction by all AAP at base MS.  2025 AAP transportation was 8.1m.  2026 it was about 3.8m.  FCPS doesnt break it out per school or even ES and MS. 
2. Immersion reduction by reducing extra staff for high attrition or low load programs.  5.7m.  Only provide 1 aide to help with the lower grades.  Cost could be higher than 5.7m since a school could flip more allocated staff into immersion. 
3. Cut IB at most schools - no IB at ES and MS.
4. Combine IB sites
5. Cut the 2 ES magnet programs. They get extra staff 1.3 mand transportation 645k.  Theres 2m. Total to both Bailey's was less than 20 students so it's not really functioning as a magnet after decades
6. Hunters Woods is essentially removed from inventory for almost 50% of the base school capacity.  It still gets AAP for Waples Mill, the only remaining feeder after they moved stuff out to Navy and Oak Hill. 
7. No adapting to squeeze in more students when there is existing capacity via boundary changes. 
8.   $ to Thru?  500k wasted and FCPS got junk busing walkers, no AAP at all MS, slop on Western, not all MS 7-8, etc[/quote]
