[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just clarifying that the other reason for the shuttle was that many families who were lied to by the previous administration and made housing choices based on those lies needed a way to actually get to the Kingsbury building.

But I guess the “risk” Charis was trying to reduce was having kids from undesirable parts of the city. Got it![/quote]

Classic charter move. We can accept at risk students but only the ones from a more 'desirable' part of the city.[/quote]

[b]Lamb admin and many LAMB parents are pretty open about making sure that this is a “ward 3/4 school”. [/b]

Feel free to search past posts.  Kingsbury was a huge mistake.

I hope all the lamb families are okay having their kids breathe in lead dust and CFCs all year while they do emergency construction.[/quote]

This is nonsense. I'm a LAMB parent and I have never heard anyone refer to it as a Ward 3/4 school. I cannot imagine anyone from the administration saying such a thing. LAMB is a bleeding-heart-so-woke-it's-annoying kind of school. [/quote]

They would say it should be a Ward 4 school. Not Ward 3.

The whole idea of Kingsbury was to attract more W4 Hispanic families, their target population. What they seem not to have realized is that with common lottery and close proximity to very wealthy areas plus ward 3, those families don’t stand a chance to get in. Not to mention the amount of outreach needed to even get them to apply in the first place.

I’m guessing all the small percentage at risk kids and certainly almost all Black children came from South Dakota campus and they will now drop off, leaving Lamb rather embarrassingly one of the wealthiest lowest risk charters in the city. That wasn’t the intention - I disagree with PP who keeps insisting it was - but it’s a consequence not helped by the tone deafness of the admin vis a vis the non-ward-4 population. This shuttle cancellation is just the latest of many signs that they just don’t care to retain longtime very engaged families, which honestly hurts. But also it’s a sign that they don’t see the writing on the wall - the school isn’t living up to its mission to educate ELL and at risk etc.[/quote]
