This is a flat out lie.

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

LAMB students live in all 8 wards of the City:

Ward
Ward 1 47 13%
Ward 2 8 2%
Ward 3 15 4%
Ward 4 188 50%
Ward 5 74 20%
Ward 6 23 6%
Ward 7 11 3%
Ward 8 8 2%
Total
Students 374 100%

So 33% of the school can just go to hell then?

You have to give this up. Every time you post something, you get further and further into an alternative reality that makes sense only in your head. There will be many factors taken into consideration with a consolidated campus and where the majority of their students reside would be towards the very top of that list. Any impartial person should be able to see that based upon that alone, Ward 4 makes the most sense. Based upon your continued argument that the school should consider the convenience of their families, Ward 4 would be most convenient for the majority of their families. I live in Ward 4, but even if the majority of students lived in Ward 5, I could never make the arguments that you are trying to make with a straight face to suggest the school should be in Ward 4. We choose this reality when we choose a citywide Charter school

Oh please. You would be on here screaming if the school wasn't moving to your backyard.

-Not PP

as I said above, not if the majority of students lived in Ward 5. My kids have gone to the campus in Ward 5 so I know I can do it if I need to. I am a pretty logical person and won't make arguments that don't make logical sense. And I am pretty solid believer in fairness. If both of those things means Ward 5 makes the most sense, then Ward 5 is the best option for the school. Being happy about it is another story, but I am not going to make up stuff just to try to get my way.

as an addendum to this, I would imagine proximity to DCI for families that have kids in both LAMB and DCI is also a part of their consideration. That would not be as big of a problem if they would support a shuttle, however. They have been looking for a building for years and unless anyone knows of a new building that has opened up recently and is large enough, I don't know why we suddenly think something has opened up. The other thread started off well to try to figure out those options but got derailed.

There is a discussion happening on the lamb yahoo group. Feel free to post there with your real names.

And I totally get that prospective students only have DCUM. The rest of you, come on over.

The most students live in Ward 4 because LAMB has the MO Ave campus right there. I guarantee if the school relocated to Ward 7, the school population would slowly change to 5/6/7/8 majority. Why should LAMB move to where a small snapshot of students live, when it means it will be incredibly difficult for a large portion of the city to access it - particularly those places WITHOUT good DCPS options?

So true. Agree 100%

Driving from Ward 4 to 5 is not a big deal. Driving from Ward 7 to ward 4 is a huge commute. Try again with your faulty logic.

So that means we have no voice anymore? Give me a break. Also part of the charter process is community engagement. Best of luck getting this to happen. I smell lawsuits and subsidized shuttles. Mmm

Choosing a charter doesn't allow the school to do whatever it pleases, in secret, with no consequences.

You parents demanding that we accept whatever is shoved down our throats are just shocking to me. I cannot believe the rudeness and pettiness of these people. See you at the next peace ceremony.

Your kids deserve better.

Actually it does. LAMB's board is only accountable to the LAMB Board. The PCSB only cares if they meet their academic goals and don't steal money. OSSE cares about whether they treat special needs kids fairly.

And if some parents leave, there are hundreds who will take their places.

Really? Because that's not what they told me today, when I called to lodge a formal complaint.

Who is they? And yes, there are limitations to their power and interest. I"m sure the person you spoke to listened attentively but there's nothing they are going to do about a hypothetical move that may or may not happen?

Absolutely. A school cannot take aside a select group and give them inside information about a choice the school made deliberately without community input.

Why don't you stick to being shrill and judgmental. Not a very Christian attitude....

Lawsuits?! The basis of which will be "I'm upset my charter in a temporary leased location is moving"? Good luck with that.

This thread is ridiculous, I can't even believe the parents complaining about a charter school moving and its location. You do realize LAMB has had several locations and families in the past had to adjust? This isn't the first time LAMB has moved on people. If you can't handle this you need to move on.

They were at Missouri Ave, then during renovation Of MO Ave, had temp space over in NE (HOPE School I think), then moved to NE at SD location. The Missouri families moved along with them, without all this craziness I'm seeing here. Just deal with it. Was it an inconvenience? Absolutely. But LAMB had/has Ward 3 families trekking all the way over to SD location. It can be done.

I don't give a crap how many times the school has moved. Please show me a quote from Maria Montessori where she states the positive benefits of being strapped into a car seat for hours.

Traffic in DC gets worse every year. Housing prices are at a peak. People can't pack up and move ESPECIALLY WHEN THEYVE BEEN TOLD THEY WONT.

Defend lamb all you want. But trust me when I say the move won't happen without 30% of the class screaming for Cristina's head. Get ready!!
