[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2019-20 Gunston had 273 Immersion transfers and 36 Montessori transfers from outside Gunston boundaries. Wakefield had 69 Immersion transfers from outside its boundaries. I'm not sure where to find the actual program totals, I'll look a little for those. The numbers will be a bigger than just the transfers obviously.

Thanks! I'm all for more choice programs for secondary. Without great demand for secondary immersion/Montessori, maybe we should return to the idea of a secondary choice program for arts. Recall seeing that mentioned a few years ago. Not sure what happened to that.

I also wonder if there are any wait lists for secondary immersion and montessori? [/quote]

According to the CIP "Staff Response to School Board Questions" document on the APS website, there are currently 37 Montessori middle school students, down from 90 at its peak.  It has been shrinking not growing.  I think the CIP proposes up to 175 Montessori middle schools students.  That seems very unrealistic.[/quote]

So it’s correct that their plan isn’t based on objective reality and the s a result of direct lobbying from the Montessori PAC, all of which happened out of public view. [/quote]
