[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you're proposing are called charters. [/quote] Dorothy Height is a former charter that is now being managed by DCPS in Ward 4. And next year DCPS will take over Excel Academy, which I think is in Ward 8.[/quote] What is the purpose of Dorothy Height? It's corrode because of inertia and lack of DCPS planning.[/quote] DCPS took over that school due to mismanagement issues regarding the Charter operator. Where should these kids go? Powell, West or Raymond. Perhaps to their IB schools if they are OOB?[/quote] DCPS picking up the slack of a failed charter was the right thing to do for the students. But what should it be long term? I don’t think anyone in the area or city thinks that a general purpose citywide school is a good idea. How about a language immersion school with IB type preference for MacFarland feeders that don't have a dual language program?[/quote]
