[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I can appreciate how this is a better solution than busing kids all the way up to Stoddert, how can they restrict attendees to just military families?  I though guy the only things a charter could legally restrict their student body on were special needs or adult learners.[/quote]

From the proposal

" Target Population LEARN intends to open a new public charter school serving grades PK3 through 8th grade. [b]Per the Military Installation Public Charter School Amendment, 50% of the seats will be reserved for active military families residing in D.C. and the additional 50% of the seats will be open enrollment for all D.C. residents.[/b] In the spirit of the parent-driven Ward 8 POST process, LEARN will intentionally focus student recruitment efforts for non-military seats in Ward 8. We know that charter schools serving elementary age populations are likely to attract a majority of students from the nearby community. In Ward 8, a DC PCSB report notes that, “Ward 8 has both the highest percent and number of students attending a public charter school in the Ward in which they reside.”
