[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a child be principal placed at a center school if their base school is a center school? [/quote]

Nope. We are at a center school, and unfortunately, NO. This is why I am so regretting being at a Center school now. Kids with way lower schools were admitted at local schools. Center schools DO have space issues, thus there is a capacity limit. Locals can send the kids to other schools and also principal place. The whole system is incredibly unfair in this regard.

Is that only for your school or all centers? This is so interesting!! I had no idea. [/quote]

ALL Centers.[/quote]

This doesn’t make sense though if selection happens through a central committee? [/quote]

It is made by the Central Committee and its supposed to be blind.   I think what the previous poster is saying is unfair is that if you are not selected for Level IV and you are at a Center school, you have no chance of being pupil placed by the Principal.  While if you go to a school with a Local Level IV, you could have 2 chances of getting in.  The first way is being accepted in the AAP program via the Central Committee. The 2nd way is by being pupil placed into the Level IV class by the principal.   Usually in a local program, there are not enough kids to fill out a class. So, to make the class numbers similar, the principal can pick students that they feel can handle the rigors of Level IV without the official designation.    The downside of this is that it is a year to year determination.  Unlike a student who is in the Level IV program, a student pupil placed could be kicked out of the class for poor performance, space issues, etc.  [/quote]

And a pupil placed kid doesn’t get AAP services in middle school even if they were principal placed in level IV. [/quote]
