[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It says they do not intend to enroll any new students for grades 3-5, but they will enroll students in grades 1-2 based on attrition. Why do they not plan to replace any students in grades 3-5? Are they overenrolled?[/quote]

It would be hard for a 3rd or 5th grader to enter into a dual language school that late in the game; unless the students came from a previous dual language school.[/quote]

I thought they weren't allowed to restrict entry to certain years unless that was part of their charter.[/quote]

It's part of their charter, it looks a lot like Yu Ying's.  After a few years, a student without the language background just can't catch up.  However, according to the law, charters aren't allowed to test in, based on language ability.  Would it make sense to let in a student with the skills?  Yes, but they can't sort by ability, so they'd have to let in anybody.  Then that child would likely fail and it would be a sad situation for everyone.  It's an unfortunate waste, but that's the way it is.
