there is an exchange happening on the list serve now, but no one has come forward to say that they have heard this directly from Cristina.

Probably because it was all a lie in the first place.

I hope you come on here an apologize once you are proven wrong. And why do you think the Admin hasn't responded....

You should've be apologizing for your lack of transparency and obvious agenda. This matters to parents and your smug attitude is nauseating. You are a liar no matter what the administration ends up saying.

Oh and if it DOES end up being Ward 4... Be prepared for the HELLFIRE you will get from me and everyone from wards 6, 7, 8. There will be protests, accusations of racism, and lots lots of fun when we involve OSSE and the Mayor.

Best of luck!

This poster sounds really difficult. As a new family, I really hope most LAMB parents are not like you. If the new location was at Walter Reed or near it, would you be this unhinged? It's seems like a logical move to come closer to the middle and high school and now where there are 2 campuses. I understand it would be far from you, but it seems that commuting is the reality for many LAMB families as is.

Not at all representative of most LAMB families. Not even close! Most families understandably want it to consolidate in a location close to them. Who wouldn't. This is the only person threatening action against the school if it moves someplace unfavorable to them.

MO was/is the original campus and thus consolidating near there makes sense. Folks from SD will eventually have to travel that way anyway.

Why is this even an argument.

NP: Because we were flat out told by the admin in the past year that they would be in SD for 8-10 years, that they even just leased more of PSP to be able to stay...

Because we gave up spots at other DCI feeders in more permanent locations that are more going to be closer to our house.

No clue. As a founding LAMB family we thought we would be going to school in the MO Ave bldg. We did, for a few years. And our kids also attended LAMB when it was in Our Redeemer Church 9Ward 5), co-located with Bunker Hill, co located with Imagine Hope (1 year) and South Dakota.

You will survive.

Also, the school just sent out a letter saying that 40% of the students are from ward 4, 20% are from ward 5 and 10% are from ward 1. Therefore, it doesn't seem crazy to move to a new campus in ward 4.

Glad you survived. The rest of us expect better for our children.

Also we have jobs.

We are in the exact same boat. Don't lie to me, cause me to give up alternatives, tell a select few people the truth, and then turn around and act surprised when people are upset.

Trust me, if the school tries to move to ward 4, I will be more than happy to make their lives incredibly difficult.

We had jobs too. As did all the other parents doing the same thing so that you could lottery into a Tier 1 school.

We all carpooled and made it work.

LAMB has always leased in Ward 5 and owned in Ward 4. That should have told you all you needed to know.

Lamb told us they would stay at South Dakota for several years. You may be fine with them lying, but I am not.

Furthermore the military road campus has always been too small. Only an idiot would think that was a permanent location.

Honestly, It is too far away from the bulk of students in DC. It is not going to happen. Ever.

Not even close to a lie. Just because you don't want to believe it, doesn't make it a flat out lie.

According to their 2015-2016 annual report, http://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/report/2015-2016%20Annual%20Report%28DSFC%29%28LatinAmericMontesBilingPCS%29.pdf

Ward 1 47 13%
Ward 2 8 2%

Ward 5 74 20%
Ward 6 23 6%
Ward 7 11 3%

SD is, and has always been, a temporary location. Get over it.

This isn't the lamb attitude. I can only assume that these people are name calling trolls.

That said, just to let everyone know, the Walter Reed expansion was granted to "allow for more access to lamb Pcs due to the unique nature of its program".

So when they go before the charter board, I'll be more than happy to oppose any expansion based on this previous ruling.

That quote was about creating more total seats -- adding the school's total capacity. It isn't about location.

Besides, who says they are expanding? The rumors are about a consolidation -- 3 campuses to 1. That has a lot of benefits -- program cohesion, economies of scale for things like custodial services, insurance, utility costs, potentially space for a library and other needed amenities.

They would have to get any new location approved - and the only questions ever asked are whether they engaged the neighbors around the new building, and how much notice they gave their families. School moves have been approved when families have been given just a few weeks of notice. So it's doubtful that the PCSB will be moved despite your angry testimony.
