| We had a thread like this for term 1. If your school has announced, will you share the plan here? Ours should announce in the next few days. |

| Did charters see this coming? Was it known that the mayor was going to make this announcement? |

| LAMB announced yesterday closed all of term 2. Now wishing it were not the exact same day the lottery closed ao there is no way to move to DCPS. |

Seems like they didn’t see it coming based on the incorrect communication we got from LAMB. |

| How are things at Sojourner MS going? They've been fully open, right? |

Pretty sure you can move to your IB DCPS whenever you want. |

I am 100% certain DCPS did not tell charters anything about the plan they announced yesterday. Hell, they didn't even tell their own teachers.
This is just like in the spring when DCPS announced they were going to close 3 weeks early and then charters had to scramble to decide if they would follow that lead or not. And in the summer, when DCPS fully planned to open virtually before announcing at the end of July that they'd be in DL until the end of the first term, and a whole bunch of charters who were ready to open in a phased hybrid plan changed everything to adjust to that announcement. It would be one thing if DCPS's plans seem well-reasoned and like they will be well-executed. But they don't, and it's frustrating that charters continue to put themselves in this reactive position. |

| Basis is opening this week for sped, ell, homelessness, kids whose parents are essential workers who must go into work and those kids who are really struggling academically. The rest has yet to be announced. |

| ITS had previously announced that they were closed until the first week of November. They haven't announced anything different. I spoke with our teacher yesterday and she clearly had no clue what was happening. |

It wasn't an "incorrect" communication received from LAMB. DCPS is essentially doing now (on-site instruction for at-risk) what LAMB has been doing all along as part of their BASES program. If you don't qualify for BASES, then you likely won't qualify for DCPS on-site (although the CARES program lottery component could own it up to more people, but this is a childcare solution only, it's not the same as in person instruction since it is childcare from non-teachers to supervise DL) |

| Lee made the decision mid-summer to do DL through November 30 (end of first trimester) and make an announcement on or before November 1 about what would happen after that. They are sticking to that plan. |

Ok, misleading, if not incorrect, implying that very few DCPS kids will be in buildings when indeed there are 21,000 spots for kids in buildings with the CARE classrooms, covering all but 20-25% of the students. |

Isn't DCPS enrollment 45K? |

Yes. Only around 50% of kids are getting in school spots. The PPP seems to be misunderstanding that those numbers are for elementary only. |
