[quote=Anonymous]PR? Isn't this all just about supply and demand amidst demographic ups and downs? The number of births fluctuate year over year (and people move to and away from DC). Parents whose kids were in PreK, say, six years ago jockeyed over fewer schools offering that. Charter schools opened in response to that higher demand but those same parents are now done have small children and those with small children can't afford to or don't want to live in the city (Covid and all). That same demographic cohort is now, six years later, jockeying over middle school seats. Demographic trends, birth rates, moves in and out of the city, etc. - all that is always in flux, ups and downs abound. More than PR, schools need to be able to respond to those ups and downs flexibly. I remember years ago when, at our school, a 5th grad teacher was temporarily dispatched to teach Kindergarten. Imagine a Kindergarten teacher teaching middle schoolers. Not easy all of that.[/quote]
