[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see all these unhappy ITS, EW Stokes and DCB families jumping to enroll at Noyes, Bunker Hill and Lamond Riggs[/quote]

Until DCPS is offering a firm guarantee of a seat for your specific child, rather than just the possibility of having a seat at some time this spring, I don't see why anyone would benefit from switching.  But the lack of communication from ITS is deplorable and falls far short of what other HRCS are doing.[/quote]

If I was a Stokes or DCB parent, I would play the lottery for MV and LAMB.  Both offering some form of hybrid and higher chance they will go full IPL next year.  Then decide to make move or not if you get a spot.

I think it would be a mistake to leave a charter school you like expecting a different charter to offer more IPL in the fall.  The key driver is the social distancing requirement.  Unless OSSE changes the cap on the number of students, nobody will be full-time in the fall.  Some charters may be a few weeks ahead of others bringing kids back this spring, but I expect all the schools will have similar offerings for IPL in the fall based on what OSSE is mandating at that time.  If you want more IPL put your energy advocating for it with DC government.[/quote]

I agree. I think most schools will be doing the same things in the Fall. Also, Stokes is bringing back most if not all students that want to come back in hybrid form in the next couple months.  This seems comparable or further along than other language immersion charters[/quote]

MV parent here. Yes, this is more than MV is doing. They’ve brought some students back but are providing no information about when others should expect an invitation for in person learning. I predict the DCI feeders will end up with a similar hybrid offering for fall- I’ll be very surprised if there is full time in person school for everyone who wants it. Likely not worth lottery-ing out for a different charter as next year will probably be a wash as well.[/quote]

It is clear from the Stokes calls that all the DCI feeders are actively communicating and comparing plans for reopening which will lead to general alignment, for better or worse, because nobody will want to be an outlier.[/quote]
