And, AAP centers.

Get rid of all specialized programs (except Special needs) which require transporation.  It would save money on transportation and help create community schools.  [/quote]

Immersion doesn't get transportation.  But yes, it needs to go away.  Sure, it is a nice to have.  Fairfax needs to get rid of the "nice to have" specialty program that doesn't benefit that many kids.  It costs more even without transportation as in the upper elementary grades, class sizes end up smaller than gen ed most years but they can't add kids in.  It also makes immersion schools huge.  While our school doesn't feel cliquey, the immersion kids and the gen ed kids don't do a lot of mixing and it becomes rather insular.  With LLIV coming to all schools, it also creates a scheduling nightmare because the immersion kids who are also identified as level 4 need to receive services and lots of grouping headaches happen.
