[quote=Anonymous]Wow, can we just put the AAP issue aside for a moment - the anti-AAP'ers are really overwhelming this thread and detracting focus from what is a very important issue.  Again, scrapping AAP appears like it would save at most $10 million (I think it is more like $5 because AAP teachers seem to be a separate line item and you would just need more gen ed teachers), but no matter what it's a small amount of the shortfall that needs to be made up.

The problem here is that while one person doesn't like AAP, and another thinks FLES can go, and another doesn't care about reading specialists...you don't just get to pick one thing and chop it off.

Can anyone identify $140 million in realistic cuts (i.e. they are not getting rid of ESOL for goodness sakes) that don't make you question the continued strength of the school system?

We all probably have one or two programs that we individually don't think are so important, but to get up to $140 million it's invariably going to cut a number a number of things you DO want.  [/quote]
