[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of APS math graduates in here. Cutting Outdoor Lab and TJHSST don't even come close to balancing the budget. The sacred cows of option schools need a hard look.[/quote] Option schools have been discussed a million times and there aren't [u]budget [/u]reasons to reconsider them. They have the same planning factors as the other schools with the exception of K-5 Montessori which gets some classroom aides. They schedule the option schools so that we can use existing buses to do another run in the morning and afternoon to hub stops so there are more hours for drivers, but not more buses. Changing the option programs back to neighborhood schools won't make any difference in staffing or building costs and might not save any transportation costs depending on how many busses are needed after all the boundaries are redrawn.[/quote]
