Because Communikids iOS a contractor not a public school district.

And yes DCPS could and probably be found PK3-K F2F but they’d need far more teachers to have only 8 students per room.

+1

Although I don’t understand how they can’t have PK go back to school with aide teaching in one room with 7 kids and teacher in another with other 7 kids or so. PK is vulnerable for both K preparedness and childcare for DC working class. Heck even limit it to essential workers if need be.

At least in terms of the aide, they are not allowed to supervise children alone. They are allowed to do lunch while the students are napping but that is it. So you would need to hire a teacher for every classroom

Even still. The classes are 13-14 max. The max per room is now 15. Open up for those ECE that opt in. Especially the vulnerable. Otherwise you’re paying $130k to a PK teacher and $40k for an aide to do what exactly?

The max for kids in DCPS is 11 students, 1 teacher and 1 teacher who may rotate. So it’s not 15 kids. What DCPS school has ever had 13 kids in a PreK3/4 classroom? Are you talking about Head Start rooms? Those don’t exist anymore...DCPS was going to lose the funding do they gave it up entirely.

The max is 16 kids, with 1 teacher and 1 aide. All the PK3/4 classrooms at our schools in Adams Morgan have 15-16 kids.

I understand the max during normal times. I was talking about hybrid.

Max now depends on size of each room. Key is how far apart you can keep students.

$imple: if a private daycare is open, the private daycare is liable for (failing to protect) kids' safety. If a public school is open, the city government is liable for kids' safety.
