What other schools have shared campuses?

Perry Street Prep/ LAMB/ Sojourner Truth
Lee Brookland/ Washington Leadership Academy
Doesn't Stokes East End?
The new rocketship off south dakota and social justice?

I think the professionals (leaders of YY and Latin) can figure this out.

Easier how? By car? Do most Latin parents drive their high schoolers every day LOL.

I’d think the lack of outdoor space would still be a negative.

Uhm, shorter by private bus as well... which is how lots of Latin kids get from the Hill to the school. You'll be shocked to hear that private buses and cars have similar door-to-door times.

Yep, Stokes East End shares a building with Maya Angelou.

That location (and the known of it all) would motivate me to consider it.

How was first day traffic at WLC? Are the other schools in session yet?

Saw some kids in Latin uniform at ITS pickup today. Looking cute!

Sounds expensive, but if you’ve got the means, good for you!

Not many Latin kids take private bus after 6th, even few after 7th. My kids both stopped in middle school.

At the end of this Zoom, the Latin staff says they are interested in pursuing a sibling/feeder preference for Yu Ying with the new campus. DCPCSB would never approve that self dealing would they?

According to the head of school, it's more than just the charter school board that would have to approve -- the law would have to change.

Why should Yu Ying get feeder preferences for TWO middle/high schools-DCI and Latin? They get one, and only one. It will all decimate chinese at DCI, which is on life support already

Chinese at DCI deserves to be on life support. The academics at both YY and DCI are lackluster, including the Mandarin. When most of the parents jump on board YY more for a school with an at-risk participation in the single digits than for the language immersion, what can we expect 8-12 years later at DCI? Great results and many kids still on board? Obviously not.

They might. I'm far from convinced that the law would prevent YY from feeding into two middle schools, or that the DCPCSB wouldn't sign off on it.

If YY gets the two middle school feeds, Latin Cooper will accrue the benefit. Sounds like win-win.

This gets worse and worse. First they reneg on an east of the river location. Then they pick a location near to where they already were further sapping dcps and promoting gentrification. Now they get to get more kids from yy?
Houses near there are going to sky rocket in value.
