[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally am trying to figure out why schools with large numbers of aap students don't have the resources and peers that seem to be the whole argument for center placement.

I don't think centers need to be eliminated entirely, but lliv schools with a decent amount of kids per grade level don't need the center option.[/quote]

AAP and GE parents have both supported this idea on this thread.[/quote]

I think FCPS does too.  And they are moving away from the Center option for baseschools with a lot of AAP children.  It's just that they have started the roll out with MS- probably becuase the schools themselves are bigger, so the base school AAP polulation can in many cases support a full team.  Look at what is happening/ proposed for schools like Cooper, Carson, & Thoreau.  I would be shocked if the same were not on the table for schools like GBW and LA in 5 years. As with full day kindergarden, they are phasing in, becuase it does take significant effort to put a AAP team or teams in the base school (move staff around) and readjust they boundaries of the Center MS to account for the lost kids.  They can't do every school at once.  But they are headed in that direction.  [/quote]
