[quote=Anonymous]If it's not Title I, it won't have guaranteed PK and will have to take a certain percentage of OOB at-risk kids. The boundary is basically half public housing and half market rate housing, so it seems unlikely that the school will be overwhelmingly non-eligible for FARMS. How much energy is being put into figuring out ways to help low-income families (and others) succeed at Van Ness? Will there be a uniform closet? Good before and aftercare? A full-time social worker or psychologist? Parenting education classes so families can support what their kids are learning in school? Partnership with a family strengthening collaborative? I did appreciate that DCPS started holding some planning meetings on the SW side of the boundary--that seemed like a step in the right direction. But there's a lot more that could happen.[/quote]
