[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you previous poster. They just put out a flyer announcing the meeting for July 21st at 5:00 pm. It will be attended by Councilmember Charles Allen and some DCPS leaders. There is also a virtual option to join.

I do believe that this is highly inappropriate in the manner and timing of releasing this information. However, they are using the same tactics of current leader Dr. Brann and Fereebee. The full immersion and dual-language program was voted down by majority stakeholders 1 year prior to Dr. Brann sneakily resubmitting her proposal against the wishes of the majority. [/quote]

Parker and other Councilmembers are expressing support for this. The community *may* have been excluded but certainly there must be some constituents for it if multiple councilmembers are getting involved.

The middle school immersion issue is both a DCPS and charter issue. On the charter side, DCI has limited spots available. Plus not all immersion charters have feeder rights to DCI. Perhaps it was bad planning to have not foreseen that when these elementaries were created middle options would be needed. But we are where we are. The Jefferson solution sounds like a good option.
