[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any info in the recent meeting on this. . . .

How large will the DCI school be?  At first and eventually?  For example, each grade level will have 100 / 200 / 300 students, for an eventual school of 100 x 7 grade levels = 700, or 200 x 7 = 1400, or. . .

For the first year in 2014-15, will the grade levels be 6th, 7th, 8th?  Will the goal be 100 students x 3 levels = 300, or . . . .

What will the entrance years be for students who lottery in as new students, those who do not come from a charter feeder school?  After a certain grade, will there be no more new students admitted?  For example, the last year to start at Latin is 9th grade.  The last year to start at YY elementary is 2nd grade.  The last year to start at LAMB elementary is PreK 4. [/quote]

I believe the first year the schools anticipate that with 6th and 7th grade only, there will be a student population of 85.  Every year thereafter they will add a grade.  Once they reach the 12th grade level, the schools anticipate a population of 800 students.  In the early years, Stokes and YY will provide the vast majority of students.  Eventually MV will catch up and produce the same number of students.  LAMB appears to have a smaller population overall.  Entry years are for every grade where there is an opening, as DCI is not immersion.  The children are required to take a language class every day.  It is a given that Mandarin, Spanish, and French are offered, but don't know if the schools will also include additional languages.  [/quote]
