[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think we need a moratorium on charter schools in Ward 1.[/b] The charter board should come up with an analysis of what's needed where (e.g., middle schools in ward 5) and since the majority of children are in Wards 7&8, that should be what the board is focused on finding - operators focused on serving the city's most needy in those wards. [/quote] Not as long as there's still demand, no we don't. Now, there is so little available property appropriate in Ward 1, that newer schools are looking at Wards 4 & 5 (e.g., Sela and Mundo Verde's new location) trying to locate as close to the geographic center, or to a metro stop as possible. In any case, Wards 7 & 8 already have the most charters, and will surely get more. Still, more are needed for all the middle and higher SES families who live EotP and won't enroll in DCPS.[/quote]
