[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FCPS Budget Tool clearly states that closing centers and eliminating busing to centers would save [b]$5.5 million.[/b] [/quote]

The FCPS Budget Tool dollar amounts are reportedly incorrect. For example, immersion costs are underreported and eliminating immersion would actually save much more money than listed.[/quote]

Reportedly incorrect?  Is that wishful thinking, or do you have an actual source for this claim?  I'm going with what's on the Budget Tool unless they come back with a correction, which they haven't.  AAP costs a lot of money, plain and simple.  And so does immersion, for that matter.  Both are programs which should be eliminated in favor of beefing up the standard curriculum for all.

FCPS used to be an excellent school system, but isn't anymore.  Why?  Because it's trying to be all things for all families (except, of course the kids who fall somewhere in the middle, who are always overlooked) and it's just not working.  The schools used to emphasize grammar, spelling, and teaching our kids to write correctly, but no more.  It's a real shame what's become of FCPS.[/quote]
