[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many private schools in the DMV and around the country have the same spike in apps and yields due to school shutdowns ranging from a few months to 18-24 mos. 
Most communities understood this and the schools business model and waived the caps given the crazy situation. Any business owner or operator gets it. This is a lasting effect of the govt shutting down schools in DC for almost two years. These schools had to operated in crisis mode with tons of local govt uncertainty for two years.

So much for “community understanding” or prioritizing effective education. [/quote]

[b]No waiver would be needed now if the GDS community had abided by its side of the agreement.[/b] Public schools are all operating normally. Kids can go back. [/quote]

I agree with this - it's not ok to enroll in a school that says there are requirements to use bus and then just drive your kid anyway.  I live in a different neighborhood that has been affected by school planning/expansion decisions. This sort of traffic has an impact when parents and students start to use side streets to get to school. It increases traffic, affects parking.  If the families were more respectful on our streets, it wouldn't be a as big of a deal - but this is DMV - so we all know there are a fair share of parent-/student-drivers who are not respectful.

I also think there must be a way for GDS to be more aggressive in compliance. Potomac as bus rules and they are quite strict about it.  [/quote]
