It's a bad place to trim the budget because smaller class sizes are better for students, especially since we don't track students and we have a vast spectrum of abilities. If one teacher is meant to differentiate appropriately, that task becomes more difficult with each additional student. Access to technology (for older students) is vital, but [b]they are pushing back the 1-1 initiative [/b]thankfully. That may save some money, but not enough to make a real dent. And pay-to-play sports are not going to happen, not when everything the system does is trying to equalize access. Maybe a sliding scale would work. But I'd rather see them use that sliding scale for AP tests first. There is no reason for APS to pay for the children of millionaires to take AP exams they have no hope of passing, other than to goose the "challenge index" scores. [/quote]

I think I need a source for that too, I don't remember that in the budget.[/quote]
