Three schools is fine for S-H and EH though. |

Right. And you would lose a lot of Francis families if you told them their kids had to go to middle school over at Euclid. It’s far and inconvenient. This is not the solution PP imagines. |

Cleveland, Garrison, and Seaton is really 2.5 schools because the dual-language kids at Cleveland have programmatic feeder rights to MacFarland. And Ross is so much smaller than the other schools that sending all of them to Euclid would still not make a Deal-sized school. It would likely be the size of SH or EH. |

Plus OOB kids attracted to the new building. I am zoned for Langley and would certainly put it on my list for 6th. DC has many friends who attend Seaton already, and it's sure to be better than our IB. |

They are also the first school for which the “hold harmless” provision no longer applies because of projected budget cuts. They are losing $1.2 million and 12 positions for their final year in the swing space. |

Tubman would be a natural feeder. It’s not that far away and feeds to a dual language middle school, even though it’s not itself dual language. It would also make sense to send the English track from Marie Reed. |

It was. They talked about it in the boundary discussions last year and limiting OOB enrollment. |

| Shining Stars numbers are really alarming. They are only fully enrolled in PK3-K, the numbers from 1-6 are low even by Montessori standards |

Oof. It’s a really tricky case. 12 people & over a million is just way too many extra people/extra money to give away in these budget times. On the other hand, if people do return once Tubman is reopened, it’s unfair to them to make them hire so many new staff. It would seem like there should be some 1 year “lending” program or something that Tubman teachers could opt into to guarantee they could return to Tubman next year. |

I mean... it makes sense. It's the only public middle school in DC that offers real advanced coursework. I'm Asian and my kids are half-asian and the oldest is now at BASIS and we like it. Other Asian people we know are in the burbs or in privates. |

Wow. Isn’t that an extremely abrupt change for SWS? I had been under the (mistaken?) impression that they were very white only a few years ago. I don’t think people on this forum would have believed you 3 years ago if you said Ludlow would be whiter than SWS in the near future. |

That’s such a strange thing to say. Like all Asians want or need ‘advanced’ coursework. |
