[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All schools in wards 7 and 8 will have it along with a few other schools. Overall the total number of schools will be anywhere between 33-38 schools.

Schools that definitely will NOT have Head Start.

Wow, Garrison and Payne?! They seem like nowhere near as gentrified as the others.

Does this mean less preschool seats, or just loss of services?[/quote]

What’s your definition of gentrified? Are you just looking at race or assuming someone’s income based on race?[/quote]

Waiting for someone to answer....[/quote]

There are no poor white people in the city, so whiter typically means more gentrified. [/quote]
That isn't entirely true. They are just often older and have been here for a long time. Many of DC's low income people are being pushed out of the city. But so are the lower-middle and middle class families.

DC Government made a promise to continue to fund Prk programs in the city even after head start. However, it does not look like they have been preparing funds or even making a budget that includes any of the Prk programs in the future. 
Taxes will need to go up to fund them which will make people mad but, this same people will leave if they don't get their free Prk. [/quote]

There are basically no poor white people in the city. Certainly there are vanishingly few white people young enough to have ES kids, so I standby my original statement that race is a reasonably proxy for gentrification in DC specifically.[/quote]

This perspective assumes that all black families are low-income, which is also not true.[/quote]
