[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see fcps pot a program in the McLean arwa where one middle and one elememtary become a dedicated center school with only AAP level four students, and the other schools are all rezoned to fill the missing AAP spots and made into non AAP, non LLIV schools...only gen ed and level three pull outs.

They have the need for AAP in that part of the county to support such a school.

Then, leave the center models in pyramids like LB and WS where they have enough students to support robust centers but not so many that they coukd support dedicated magnets and areas like Lee and Mount Vernon pyramids where they need to centers to even have a viable AAP program.[/quote]

Fabulous idea! You should post this on the FCPS UserVoice site.  (I'd vote for it!)

Disagree. My neighborhood school is a center school. How would you choose which neighborhood school to take away? Right now people have options: you can buy in an area zoned for a center school. You can buy in an area not zoned for a center school. If your child is found eligible for additional services you can choose that they stay at their current school or you can choose to send them to a center school. Why reduce options?[/quote]

The options only exist for kids in AAP - that is, the option to stay at their base school or go to the center.  General Ed. students have no such option.[/quote]
