[quote=Anonymous]"So would anyone be supportive of giving at-risk preference over IB students for Pk3 and Pk4 at DCPS?" Would you -- if they stay, as they would, for the rest of elementary, and junior high, etc? So PK3 and PK4 get filled with at risk. Maybe one additional classroom gets opened up for K, maybe 2 if it is a big school. Where will all the other IB kids go? And then you have a school which is 75% at risk or 3/5 at risk. That is assuming a lot of at-risk kids apply, but there probably are a lot. Or let's say it is just 1/3 of at risk kids admitted for pre-K, so that by K it is about one classroom's worth of at risk spread across the classes. That is still a whole extra class that would have to be added to K to maintain the IB by right kids. Where do you put all of these kids, and where do you get the money to add the extra classes. Unless more of them leave the system, which they might. [/quote]
