[quote=warrenox][quote=Anonymous]Minor is a bridge too far for us, way too far. How many high SES/white kids in K this past year - 2? How many in 1st-5th, zero? What percentage of the catchment area is high SES/white now - 60%? Simply put, the arrangement is criminal. DCPS could easily give the gentrifiers a fighting chance of using the school, or Payne. Mandarin immersion won't do the job, folks. Nice try. [/quote] Could you please quote statistics instead of guessing? I'm interested in debating and working out solutions, but we have to have a honest dialogue. Did you see my post above where 30 parents of children inbound to Miner met about how to help Miner change into the neighborhood school we would all like to see? What brought this about? Conversations about immersion for Miner. There isn't a program there yet, but just talking about a immersion program has spurred some people into becoming engaged. What will do the job for you?
