[quote=Anonymous]I watched the live stream last night. Aside from the approvals, there was discussion of the expansions. Re Latin -- the Board acknowledged it met all the formal criteria for expansions, board member Steve Bumbaugh took the opportunity to press the Latin leadership on a few points. He noted that in Washington, D.C. fully half of all public school students are categorized as "at-risk," but the population at Washington Latin for this group of children is 6.8 percent in middle school and 16.8 percent in high school. He said he found it "frustrating" that the suspension rate for these students is 26.6 percent, at this point he was applauded by the audience. HOS Peter Anderson and principal Diana Smith, spoke about their efforts to reduce the suspension rate, and [b]will utilize the still undetermined location for the second campus together with revised marketing efforts to increase the number of low-income kids that it serves.
