[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rhee / Henderson wanted to shutter both of these schools. Now Francis has a wait list of 900+ and wants to take over the old Stevens space. Shows what can be done with a bit of leadership. [/quote]

It shows what happens when you offer free preschool near downtown.

[/quote]

Two thirds of the wait list is for K and above (584 kids) - including 258 for the middle school years (6-8).

That just means that people IB for other schools are looking for options. They aren't bursting at the seams with IB students.

A WL made up of OOB students is not a reason for a neighborhood school to grow. [/quote] If there is demand and space available why not expand? It's not like the city is oversupllied with schools that parents want to send their kids to. [/quote]

Because there isn't space available. Stevens is and has been surplus for years. It is supposed to be made available to charters first under DC law. [/quote] That's not how it works. DCPS and other DC government bodies have priority. Charters have right of first refusal if the property is offered to private sector or other non DC government users.[/quote]
