[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So start telling Mary Cheh and Ruth Wattenburg and David Grosso and Muriel Bowser and the DME and chancellor that you are willing to have the boundaries of WoTP schools shrunk so that the schools can accommodate PK3. [b]The challenge is that most families living WOTP would rather have the right to attend the schools they prefer for K-12 than to have more PK seats. [/b]

Anyone living IB for a school that doesn't offer PK could move IB for a school that does (and could even move IB for a school that has guaranteed PK!) but if you don't want to, that's ok--you're lucky to have the choice when lots of folks in Wards 7 and 8 don't have the option of moving to Ward 3.[/quote]

This.

One of the biggest issues is space.  Many of the WOTP ES are crowded and the people pushing back against more ECE seats are the parents of the current K-5 kids.  The schools are at capacity, and if you don't want to have older elementary students in trailers, then there isn't space for the 3 and 4 year olds.  If Ward 3 wants more spots for PK4 (and PK3) the discussion has to happen in Ward 3.  This is not the rest of the city against you.  This is Ward 3 parents dividing the ES space that exists.[/quote]
