[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continuing SSMA family and stoked about the space (natural light, close playground). It's a hike, but I much rather hike to a populated, safe area. I do worry about diversity, but I have faith that once the school is able to focus on something other than it's location that a recruitment and retainment strategy can be developed (shuttles, etc)[/quote] You are dreaming. Do any DC charters have SCHOOL-Run (and paid for) shuttles? All the charter school buses I know of are parent run. That is too expensive foe low SES families and that is way too far a hike on public transport. Race and class diversity will be heavily impacted by this move. Such a huge bummer, as I have been so impressed by the diversity of parents who had really committed and formed a strong parent community. There is a reason location and commute are a deal-maker or deal-breaker for so many families.[/quote]
