[quote=Anonymous]To put this in broader perspective: What was happening is that DCPS has a district-wide policy against redshirting, but the former principal at Lafayette was letting parents redshirt anyway. I will note here that Lafayette is 72% white and 3% at risk in a district that has less than 20% white students and 45% of kids are at risk. Make of that what you will. The new principal at Lafayette is bringing the school in line with district-wide policy. While I can see how these individual families would be frustrated by it, the truth is that it should never have happened, it's good that it stopped, and they are just going to have to suck it up. DCPS could offer summer programming to these kids to ensure they are ready for 1st grade in the fall. That should probably be the compromise. DCPS has a district-wide policy against redshirting. If they want to change that policy, it must be changed on a district-wide level. [/quote]
