[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't trust this corporate charter.  Pulling the old switcheroo/bait&switch before you even open is quite bold. But new DC families eager for Larlo to go to school "among peers" are not concerned in the least.  BMCPS' leadership and Board of Directors well reflects its target student body. [/quote]

How are they pulling a bait and switch? I don't see why parents should be concerned.  Have you been to a community event, the entire team seems knowledgable, eager, excited, and experienced.  I am not sure I understand your concern.  It seems as though you may not like charters in general. [/quote]

No dog and don't have an opinion whether it is a bait and switch.

But if you read their proposal it was all about bringing Montessori to poor, at risk kids that the other Montessoris don't now serve (and they took some shots at those schools). Much about locating there and having diverse leadership.

Now they are opening in already pretty gentrified Petworth with an all-white leadership team.

That's what the complaint is about. [/quote]

+1. Thank you for stating facts.[/quote]

If you had attended the community meeting with incoming parents, then you would have noticed that most of the people there were black. Just because the pop a school in Petworth, doesn't mean it will be all white. [/quote]
