[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spanish immersion is one idea and a good one. I just don’t think expanding buildings and revisiting boundaries is enough. MCPS needs to be innovative here to compete with the private schools. They are losing - at least in the DCC.

Do you have any proof of that? My kids are at DCC schools and I can count on one hand the number of kids in the whole neighborhood who are in private schools. Of those who are, two have parents who work at that school, and one has special needs that MCPS couldn't accommodate. I guess there's one other family that homeschools, but I get the impression they would homeschool no matter where they live, as it is a pretty integral part of their self-conception.

I mean, genuinely, what gives you the impression that families in DCC neighborhoods are, en masse, using private schools? [/quote]

I think the consultant should look at that. It’s relevant. And I personally know a lot of families in the Catholic schools from Silver Spring.[/quote]
