[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Still think it would be a reduction in bus costs if AAP kids were at base school. My kid could walk to our elementary but had to be bussed to a center. Sorry. I know folks will defend this program till their dying day, but in many areas, these needs could be served more than adequately at their base school if parents weren't so reluctant to let go of the idea that their precious can't be rubbing elbows with all the kids in his/her community (which is kinda how life is when you think of it).

[b] :?: any kid who lives close to a school can walk there.  Has nothing to do with AAP.  My kid was bussed to the local school before getting ito AAP, and is now bussed to the Center.  Really no difference. [/quote][/b]

You misunderstand.  My son didn't need or qualify for transportation when he went to our base school, which was about a block away.  He did require transportation and thus became an additional cost to the county when he got into AAP and moved to a school across town.   So you can't  say that if you moved all AAP kids back to base schools they would necessarily need more buses.  It's not net/net.[/quote]

but if the local schools are full how are they going to absorb all these new kids coming back from the Centers?[/quote]
