Not sure - but Bethune students going to Costa Rica is very cool. Oddly nothing about the new campus on their Facebook. |

| You can see it on the agenda at the most recent DCPCSB meeting. |

| NP here--we were on the waitlist for PK3 there and received a letter that they are opening a new campus. |

Here are the meeting minutes from the July Charter School Board meeting which confirms this news.

Very interesting.
Any indication that they will be leaving their current location? |

No hint of it in the PCSB paperwork linked above. All about additional space to serve more EC students. |

| This is interesting. They say they have 66 kids on their wait list, and they want to open the second space to accept them. But how many of those are legit? I have two kids on the waist, and no plans to attend. Communication was awful and they are pretty disorganized. Given their current chaos, it's hard for me to fathom that with a month left before school starts, they have the ability to get a new school up and running, even if it is only three grades. |

| They're a hot mess serving a huge amount of MD residents. Why the hell would you open another campus if you can't even manage to work your existing waitlist?? Stinks of something. |

| Strange that the PCSB approved an expansion to a second campus. |

| I strongly suspect they will be moving or closing their current campus. |

How so? The Church isn't large enough for all of the elementary grades. Maybe they can transition to an Apple Tree model. If they do move/close there will be a lot of interest in that building. |

A. LOT. This would actually be a great opportunity in a neighborhood pining for better options than Bethune. |

| Is the Brookland building up for grabs?) |
