[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once there are not enough seats, why wouldn’t DCI give preference to the feeder kids over siblings from non-feeders?

The whole purpose of the creation of the school was to give these kids a pathway to middle and high school from the feeders.[/quote]

It was part of the deal they made to obtain DCI's charter and have the right to any feeder preference at all.  The PCSB likes older children to have some school choice too, and there are plenty of Spanish-language non-feeder schools and other language schools in the broader area, so it's wrong to assume the new kids won't have language skills.[/quote]

+1. There are plenty of native Spanish speakers and kids coming out of bilingual DCPS schools that would have as much interest and ability to start a new language in middle school. Particularly French as another Romance language. Feeder schools’ interests aren’t the only interests the city has in determining enrollment policies for public schools.[/quote]

Sure but DC deny charters giving language preference in the lottery , unlike DCPS schools which has language dominant, so why would DCI not look after their own?

Above is fair enough argument.
