[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been asked and answered a million times. It's because those schools are so crowded that they need more classrooms for K-5.[/quote]

That makes no sense, other schools are also crowded and yet they have PK3, my school is one of them. I am a teacher but I’m a newer mom. That answer sounds like a DCPS cop-out.[/quote]

And they're likely to lose PK3. For example Ross lost PK3 a year or two ago.

You might as well get used to DCPS cop-outs. Happens all the time.[/quote]

Thank you for this information, PK i

I’m not sure the district steps in, they seem fine with 27 K students in a class. [/quote]

They will step in if it gets higher than that, or if the fire capacity of the building is exceeded by the total enrollment+staff. Yes they're fine with bigger class sizes but not infinity.

You might find it interesting to review the process around Lafayette and the Military Road ECE facility. Here are a few random links to get you started.
