[quote=Anonymous]Do not listen to the prior poster. Funds for the 2021-2022 school year have already been allocated. The lottery is already underway. If we get to the point where DC is eliminating PK (totally eliminating, not offering it as DL, but like laying off staff and reallocating classrooms) we have much bigger problems on our hands. Also, charter budgets work differently and many charters rely on PK classes to create a pipeline of students for upper grades, which in newer schools might not even exist yet. They are highly motivated to keep those classes around. If DCPS eliminated PK and charters didn't... well there would be hell to pay. Especially if parents turned down charter slots in the lottery in favor of DCPS schools, only to discover their program was cut. You can't do that.

But I'd definitely prepare for more of the garbage DL for PK. We are PK3 this year and are absolutely preparing for the possibility that it will be virtual again next year. I really, really hope not, but we got screwed this year (everyone kept promising us that DL was a temporary stopgap and yet... here we are) and I can't do that to my kid again next year. I hope DCPS gets their shit together and teachers get vaccinated and they can offer 5-day PK. But I am definitely not counting on it.[/quote]
