Finally! But it is a very small number of kids.

Seeing DCPS provide more service than so many charters. has really been eye-opening.

Depends on the DCPS and the Charter. Some charters are already in person or with CARES set ups. Some schools are making only a handful of seats available.

I just get tired of ITS telling us they want more at-risk kids and then not really following through on providing a level of service that makes the school attractive or feasible.

Exactly. ITDS should take a look in the mirror and tone down it's self aggrandizing after seeing that the large bureaucracy that is DCPS is able to do more than ITDS is able to do with small charter school agility.

Anyone who really needed childcare would have had to drop out of ITS to get it from DCPS. And ITS is only even offering it for like 5% of the school population.

And yet most of us will stay. Because when they are in-person they are a pretty good small school with a location that works for a lot of people.
I am wondering if I should be considering Haynes or Sela. I would have never been playing the lottery or truly considering moving before this year.

Yep. Same. I hope the new HOS does more actual, concrete things for the at-risk kids though.

Right. I'm not saying I have a better option. But any bubble of feeling like they're a demonstration school teaching teachers and they have their act together (and least administratively) better that DCPS has burst to some degree.

I believe Yu Ying is starting hybrid at some point in February.

I think they have their act reasonably together, they just chose not to provide families with any in person care. Not every shortcoming is due to incompetence.

Demonstration-wise, at least for elementary, they are training teachers to work with a mostly high income population and that is a bummer.

I have to agree.

The data I've seen (surveys) have not indicated that at-risk parents are the main ones who want school to return to in person.

What have you seen that shows otherwise?

That is the overall trend but there are some at-risk kids whose parents do want to send them. And there has not been a survey in quite a while so people's needs may change.

A handful are trying to do CARES-like classes.
Just goes to show charters aren't better, they are necessarily worse but seems like no point to have them.
