[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IB schools must also be more than .5 mile away. I wonder how many students this applies to. [/quote] It applies to a lot of schools in Ward 8. I strongly suspect that's who it will mostly affect.[/quote] Not sure I get this. Can you explain?[/quote] There are quite a few charters occupying or very close to DCPSes that have been closed. Students who used to attend those schools (I'm thinking of Mary Church Terrell School on Wheeler Road SE which is closed - students got redistricted to MLK ES, but there are several charters very close to the MCT building, for example). There were a lot of DCPS closed in 2008 and 2013. A lot of those kids ended up at charters in their neighborhoods, which are not as difficult to get into as charters in ward 4.[/quote]
