How long does LAMB give current families to decide of they are staying? And new families to decide if they are taking their lottery win?

They gave returning families a long time last year - into the summer.

Is LAMB still moving to Kingsbury?

The deal has fallen through because the neighbors prevailed. Yay!!

Unless something has happened in the last day, that is completely false. The BZA voted to approve the move to Kingsbury on February 14.

On a related note, LAMB's charter was renewed by the PCSB last week. Former PCSB board chair Darren Woodruff made the following statement on the record. http://www.dcpcsb.org/blog/statement-darren-woodruff-latin-american-montessori-bilingual-pcs

"We’re here tonight to discuss LAMB’s track record over the last 15 years and then we’ll vote on their charter renewal. As a consistently high performing school, LAMB has had a lot of successes, and we applaud you for that. However, our staff has heard from dozens of your families time and time again about a few critical issues – the most tragic being the conviction of a former LAMB teacher for sexual abuse of six students. These families have also talked to us about other issues that they are concerned about including replacing school leadership, a perceived unwillingness to help subsidize transportation to your new facility that you are working towards and poor communication between the school and families.

We commend your teachers for their courage to speak out and the Board’s commitment to understand the facts around all of this. Our heart remains heavy for the students and families that have been affected as well for the entire school community. Excellence in public charter education assigns different roles to different entities. The law requires that the PCSB holds each public charter school to high standards. The law also gives individual boards, such as your own, the responsibility of meeting those high standards. That means that LAMB hires and fires school leadership, sets the curriculum and provides financial oversight. But as a check and balance, we must not only hold school leaders accountable for academic success but also ensure that they are acting the best interest of all students attending the school."
