I’m shocked you know of kids without IEPs who got a seat. In fact, I’m dubious of that. Perhaps you don’t know they have an IEP and the parent is lying by saying they do not. The only other possibility is that the administration believes the child should have an IEP and is severely at risk for lack of one and learning lags and so a seat was given to them. I understand there are one or two seats per grade reserved for such teacher-identified preference
I think you misunderstood. I meant there are kids who have IEPs who did not get spots. Not every kid at Janney with an IEP got a spot.
Ahh, my bad. Yes, that makes absolute sense. It would mean more than 11 IEPs though,
not ELLs as they only go to the ELL bucket after IEPs[/quote]
Why do you think that IEPs & ELLS are prioritized differently?
From the DCPS website:
We are prioritizing classroom seats for our elementary students with the highest need based on current enrollment information. Through a random selection process, we will prioritize by grade level by school:
Students experiencing homelessness
Students who receive special education services
or who are English Learners
Students who are designated as At-Risk
All other enrolled students
