I think at this point it's people reaching out individually.  Perhaps you can try to see if others would want to join in?  I haven't gotten a clear answer re: the wraparound services.  They have talked a lot (like at the PARCC meeting this fall) about the work they are doing to identify students who are lagging and coach teachers to accelerate improvement. [/quote]

Providing struggling learners with individualized support isn't a wrap around service. That's is (or at least should be) a basic function of elementary education. A wrap around service is having a mobile dental unit visit the school so kids that can't access dental care have an opportunity for a cleaning. Etc.

[b]Has ITS shown any real interest in building a school community that would serve high risk kids? It's okay if they haven't.[/b] Janney hasn't either. But it is hard to swallow the talk of community and diversity given what actually happens.[/quote]

Actually it isn't ok.

As a charter, they have to be prepared to serve anyone and everyone who enrolls. Also, they certainly claimed underserved and at-risk children would benefit from their school when they applied for a charter.[/quote]
