[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF free private PK3 in Ward 3. That is so messed up. Sickening.[/quote]

Sending great love, empathy, and a tsunami of tax dollars to the folks who find it "sickening" that Ward 3 families might actually -- gasp! -- have local access to the pk3 we already pay for, which everyone else gets without question. Bless your hearts.

Sure would be nice if we had free [i]public[/i] pk3. You know, like you have. At your local school *and* at all of those charters in your ward. But that's just too much to ask for Ward 3.[/quote]

Sure this would be nice but it would require a new round of school construction and expansion - if you added PK-3 and accepted all comers you'd need to add 100-150 kids to a bunch of schools that are already over capacity and may not even have the space to expand.  And Ward 3 is actually ahead of other parts of the city in terms of school renovations.

Pre-K (both 3 and 4) is capacity constrained so it makes sense for those spaces to go to the kids who most need them.

And FWIW lots of kids EOTP also don't get into PK-3 and PK-4.[/quote]
