[quote=donalan]Meet with your AAP representative and discuss the differences in [b]level III[/b] services offered at your home school vs. a Level IV AAP center (or 'Local Level IV).  In our case some major differences were:

1. Level IV Center School offers full day Level IV curriculum and instruction 5 days a week; Home School would offer 1 class in a trailer 1 day a week with minor enhancements to standard curriculum.

2. Level IV Center School offers teachers specializing in gifted students; Home School shares 1 AA teacher with several other schools (she is at Home School only a few days each month).

3. Level IV Center School offers group learning among AAP students every day; Home School offers limited or no peer group learning among AAP students.

4. Level IV Center School offers compacted math; Home School does not have the resources to offer compacted math at this time.

At the moment transportation funds for AAP students have been cut.  That means that if your child has qualified for Level IV services and your home school offers  Level IV services he will not be bussed to the Center school.

If you have an AAP student and want them bussed to a Level IV center you should contact your school board representative asap and tell them you want aap transportation funding (~$208,000) refunded.

[u]EDIT[/u] We got the information about Level IV services from our schools Special Education Teacher in charge of the AAP program.  I sat down with her for an hour and discussed in great detail the differences in our Home school Level IV services vs. the services offered at the Level IV Center school.[/quote]
