[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you'll see many private families going charter, but there may be an uptick in K-2 at DCPS. More than likely privates will also be using virtual learning, and private school parents may not feel it's worth $40k, especially for younger students. [/quote]

This is the bottom line and addresses OP’s questions.  Desirable charters have fixed number of seats.  DCPS in boundary schools, no.  They have to take everyone k and up in their boundary line whose wants their kids to go there.  Black and white.

Even if some private school families want to go charter, it doesn’t change the fixed number of seats, just more competition for the charter seats.  [/quote]

OP back, and yes, that was my point.

While obviously most kids in private will stay, I am sure there are more than a few who will either give up their spot. Particularly those who might be joining a private school for the first time and could simply remain at a public school where they were already enrolled. I can see a lot of kids at our WOTP school in PK4 who normally go off to private for K and above choosing not to do so. [/quote]
