+1 Public school isn't a menu.If a school isn't good enough for your kid, the parent booster money that funds the sports shouldn't be good enough either. The point of charters is that small schools can experiment free from the constraints of the larger system . The are costs to being outside he system, and you need to be willing to pay them, not crying because you can't have your cake and eat it too. |
The answer is no. The only way a student can do that is the following; DCPS school (does not have the activity) and the other DCPS school does DCPCS school (does not have the activity) and the other DCPCS has it A DCPS student is not allowed to play on a DCPCS athletic team A DCPCS student is not allowed to play on a DCPS team This is coming for a DCPS coach and A.D. who have dealt with this issue too many times. |
My taxes pay for DCPS and DCPCS, too. But my kid goes to private school. By your logic, he should be able to join the Wilson football team if he wants to. Our private school doesn't have a team. OK with that? |
Yes I am OK with that if your school does not offer that sport. |
So if my taxes pay for both DCPS and DCPCS, you won't mind if my kid, who didn't get a seat in the charter we wanted, drops by for language immersion or accelerated math? No, those things are reserved for students attending the school? What's the difference? |
Look folks - it honestly doesn't matter what you think. Right now it's allowed under certain circumstances.
If you are outraged by that, contact your council member and ask them to change it. |
why does anyone want their kid to play football anyway? to get a jump start on the CTE and permanent brain damage?

Read upthread. Mary Cheh introduced legislation last year to allow exactly that. |
I've decided that I want my child -- a DCPS student -- to benefit from language processing support from the Lab School. Where do I sign him up? TIA! |
First step is to hire a lawyer. |
I have a home schooled kid in DC, what are the rules laws regarding him playing sports for a public school. |
Charter school students are not allowed to play sports at DCPS schools. There is bad info on this thread. |
DCPS wont' pay for lab school anymore. |
This thread started in 2015 and is mostly from 2015-2017. |
My kid went to Macarthur and played football for Eastern HS last year. It was such a great experience, he transferred to Eastern HS. |
