[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm concerned there won't be enough kids to make your budget.  How many kids do you need to have enrolled in the fall to open the school at all?  Will parents be told sometime after the lottery whether the school is going forward?

How will you manage the behavior issues that typically come with low-income middle school students, while simultaneously keeping your high-income parents from freaking out?  If they come from the feeder schools they're really not used to economic diversity.[/quote]

Not OP.

In the materials the PCSB just posted (ahead of the public hearing on ST's temporary location), it says that as of 2/20 they have had a total of 103 entries in the current lottery. If they enroll 90 students they will break even on lease costs (the per pupil facility funds will cover it). Their "low enrollment" scenario is 75 students and that they can absorb the least costs at that level as well.

So the short answer is that they will open, no matter what. But the more students (up to their cap) the better.

What if they end up wih less than 75, though?  Not everyone who enters will match.[/quote]
