[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would assume most cuts would be to non-essential programs like AAP?[/quote]

How much more does AAP cost?  The students are still there and they still need to have teachers.  They still take art, music, PE.......  They still have access to the library.... The additional bussing cost is where the savings would be and that is a drop in the bucket. (No dog in the AAP fight.)[/quote]

this suggestion was just a person trying to be funny -- the only additional cost is bus service to the centers.  Putting all the students back at their base schools would save little or nothing.[/quote]

They don't pay those teachers more? There's no additional layer of cost for curriculum?
 
I genuinely don't know, I'm just asking. But I bet it's more complicated than just busing.

[b]I'd chop AAP before FLES.[/b][/quote]

Just goes to show you that neither one of you know what you are talking about!  Why would you cut AAP before FLES????  Have you been in these classrooms, why are we teaching a foreign language to students who can't read or comprehend English? Yes, cut FLES!!!

Sorry your peanut didn't get into AAP like you wanted but the program is good and a lot of people moved to this area due to the AAP program!  I didn't move to this area so that my children can learn Mandarin! [/quote]
