[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sense the anti-AAP crowd is out in force again.  I actually was in AAP - at the time it was called GT -- years ago here in FCPS and I think it was of tremendous benefit to me.  I would have been very bored and unchallenged in a gen ed classroom.  But, it does seem like the numbers have gotten out of hand in recent years such that I think the program could benefit from some retooling.

However, bringing this back to the budget question - is AAP costly?  Aside from the bus issue, which could be considered separately, regardless of whether the kids are in AAP or not, they need to be educated and need a teacher and I do not believe the AAP teachers get paid differently than other teachers.  What kind of additional costs are involved in offering AAP?  [/quote]

This is just to run the program:
