[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our principal has been told that it is very very very unlikely that immersion will be cut even though it is in the proposal.  The school board knows it would be a logistical nightmare.  What could potentially happen is that some of the immersion supports may be decreased but the actual program will remain.[/quote]

how would this be a logistical nightmare?[/quote]

This is what I'm wondering too.  Immersion ends?  Kids return to their base schools.  Same with AAP.  Logistics would actually be much easier.  The people making this into such a "logistical nightmare" are those who refuse to acknowledge how wasteful these programs are.[/quote]

Cutting immersion is not really a logistic issue at all and far less of a logistical hassle than cutting AAP.

Whether you hate AAP or think it is vital, it is obvious that eliminating centers will result in rezoning a huge number of non center elementary schools country wide.

This will not happen with immersion. Resources and students can easily be shifted to accomodate those students switching back to their base schools.  Immersion schools are not pulling hundreds of students from three or four neighboring schools. They are pulling a handful of students from many different school zones from all over the county.  Sending a half dozen or so kids back to twenty or thirty different base schools is infinitely simpler and easier logistically than sending 100-150+ kids each to two or three different elementary schools while leaving the base school several hundred kids under capacity.[/quote]

I can't speak to other schools but my daughter's OOB classmates all pull from the same couple of schools. Maybe that's a coincidence, I don't know. [/quote]
