| Heard on grapevine that teachers were excessed at Wilson today and it is turning into neighborhood school? Yes or no, for any in the know with actual knowledge? |
| What do you mean by a neighborhood school? |
| Are you saying they are telling OOB kids with too many tardies they can not return? |
I don't know. Read on the Senior High Alliance of Parents, Principals and Educators (S.H.A.P.P.E.) minutes that this was a potential possibility as budget cuts combined with LEAP costs put budget in range of 1 million in actuality. Can google and read the minutes but it doesn't mention being a neighborhood school, whatever that means! Hopefully someone who has more information can enlighten us

Wilson enrollment is down (slightly). And fewer at risk students (both economically disadvantaged and students with IEPs). That would reduce the school's funding even without the LEAP costs. From the OSSE enrollment audit data https://osse.dc.gov/enrollment Wilson 2015-16 1791 students 563 economically disadvantaged students (29.8%) 234 students with disabilities (13.1%) 2016-17 1749 students 423 economically disadvantaged students (24%) 204 students with disabilities (11.6%) |
