Literally nobody matched.

They are supposed to help the kids find other schools, there's a whole shutdown process.[/quote]

My School DC may have zeroed out their matches by zeroing out the number of seats offered. There are zero lottery seats for I Dream for this year. In past years, they offered up to 25 seats and had some matches. I think this is a best approach -- to zero out seats and matches -- for those families who applied to I Dream. Of course, this only works when schools close before lottery matches are made. It also doesn't help families already enrolled in a closing school if those families hadn't entered the lottery.

The week that I Dream relinquished, schools got a notification that there was a "change in LEA offerings" so My School DC was re-running lottery results.

I am a frequent critic of the PCSB but if they got it shut down before the lottery they are to be commended. About time they took actions before it screwed parents.[/quote]

Stay critical. The PCSB didn’t shut them down. The PCSB literally told them that they could go to next year and they wouldn’t run the performance calculations to see if they met goals until AFTER the lottery next year at which time the school would have to relinquish or be revoked. Meanwhile OSSE releases its report card scores in late November/early December. The charter school decided they wouldn’t put their families or staff through that. It was simply a happy accident that the school made the decision a day before lottery matches were released. That one day gave My School DC the opportunity to re-run the matches. [/quote]

It should have happened a month earlier. Current families are learning about this too late to enter the lottery.[/quote]

Agree with this. DCPCSB should either decide to shut down schools before the lottery deadline so current families have a chance to apply elsewhere, or keep them open another year with support to better serve the students. What happened with I Dream was better than with Eagle, but it's still a failure. [/quote]
