[quote=Anonymous]Does he have a guaranteed spot at his current school? If so, would it be worth giving the charter a try and then if it really isn't working, switch back? Re fundraising. Our dd goes to a fancy charter school which really pushes fundraising participation. DH and I unfortunately each experienced job loss back to back and just haven't been able to put any extra into school this or last year, but have gotten zero shaming about it from anyone, even without making our personal situation public knowledge. So do what you need to do as far as that goes - I think people understand, and if you're able to contribute time or $ down the road then so be it. Re losing enrichments/after care - I wonder if you'd be able to meet another family in the new community to swap childcare with? Like if he can go to them after school and then you have their kid for a weekend sleepover once a month or something like that? I know several families in dd's grade who do something like that vs paying for aftercare.[/quote]
