[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pps who come here to express a burning desire to see ECE dramatically scaled back at Brent don't seem to have a clue how capacity management decisions are made in DCPS schools. Parents and school admins have much less say in these matters than you might think. Admins can't push to axe programs DCPS wants to retain in almost all of its EotP elementary schools without coming to blows with systems higher ups.  Not wise to pick a fight when your banged-up building needs modernizing in a big way, and not just because it's become crowded.[/quote]
 
You keep saying this. How do you know? Until Brent goes to DCPS and says, "We want to cut ECE, how can we make it happen?," how do you know what they would say? This sounds like an excuse for inaction. [/quote]

The Brent community has been talking seriously about cutting ECE for the last five years. Some PreS3 spots have been cut, but that's as far as the pruning has gone.  I don't see an ECE class or two being cut even as crowding grows. DCPS isn't on board, Principal L isn't on board, most parent leaders aren't on board.

If you want to argue against excuses for inaction in a meaningful way, please run for the LSAT or PTA Board or ask to join the SIT.
